Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Carson Wentz returned the favor to former teammate Nick Foles, offering encouraging words after the Jaguars star quarterback suffered a broken clavicle while completing a beautiful touchdown pass to D.J.Chark.
Foles could miss a chunk of this season, and it’s a reversal of roles for Wentz, who had been on the other end of back-to-back season-ending injuries.
For Wentz, Foles is a brother and these injuries are an unfortunate part of the game.
“I did reach out to Nick, and I love Nick to death and the competitor that he is, so that’s really a bummer and unfortunate,” Wentz said Wednesday. “But that’s what we sign up for. When you play this game, there are so many things you can’t control, and I know he believes that. He believes that God’s using him for a reason, so to be able to go through it from a faith-filled standpoint for him, I know it’s tough, but I know he’ll handle it well.”
