PHILADELPHIA (AP) — into the playoffs.Coach Doug Pederson said Foles is “feeling good” after suffering a chest injury and will start when the Eagles (9-7) face the Bears (12-4) in an NFC wild-card game next Sunday.“We’ll take care of him and make sure he’s ready Prince Amukamara Jersey ,” Pederson said Monday.Pederson said Nate Sudfeld is the backup as of right now and couldn’t provide an update on Carson Wentz’s back injury. He wouldn’t commit to starting Foles if the Eagles advance.“There is no guarantee we’re going to win this game,” Pederson said. “I’ll evaluate next Monday.”The Eagles earned a playoff berth with a 24-0 win at Washington coupled with Chicago’s victory at Minnesota.Foles is 6-0 in must-win games filling in for Wentz the past two seasons, including 3-0 in the playoffs and earned Super Bowl MVP honors in a 41-33 victory over New England.He tied an NFL record by completing 25 consecutive passes in the win against the Redskins and has been outstanding in three starts since Wentz was sidelined. Sudfeld relieved Foles and tossed a touchdown pass on his only throw.The Eagles will have off Tuesday and a walk-through practice Wednesday so Foles has more time to prepare for the Bears.Foles stepped in last season after Wentz tore two knee ligaments in December and led Philadelphia to its first NFL title since 1960.The Eagles have a far more difficult path this time as they try to become the third No. 6 seed to win a Super Bowl http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-adam-shaheen-jersey , joining the 2005 Steelers and 2010 Packers.“Last year we had luxury of having a bye and playing at home for two games,” Pederson said. “We understand that we’re on the road. But having guys that have been through it, I think the heightened sense of awareness Womens Mitchell Trubisky Jersey , the urgency, the sort of do-or-die, backs-against-the-wall mentality Pat O'Donnell Jersey , those are all things we can definitely draw from last year’s postseason run now into this game.” Word last week was that the Bears would release kicker Cody Parkey after the first year of the four-year deal he signed with the team last year.In an appearance on NFL Network from the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, head coach Matt Nagy confirmed that Parkey is finished in Chicago. Parkey was 23-of-30 on field goals and 42-of-45 on extra points in his lone season with the Bears.“We’ve talked to Cody and Cody knows were going to go on in a different direction,” Nagy said. “It was a healthy talk http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-kyle-long-jersey , he took it like a true professional. We wish him the best.”Parkey’s release will result in over $5 million in dead money on the Chicago cap if he’s a pre-June 1 cut and just over $4 million if he’s designated as a post-June 1 cut, but the team obviously feels that’s less painful than holding onto the kicker who double doinked a potential game-winning kick off the upright and crossbar in January’s playoff loss to the Eagles.
