Nick Foles will miss the Indianapolis Colts season finale against Houston because of injured ribs and will be replaced by second-year quarterback Sam Ehlinger.
The quarterback change will be the fourth for Indy this season.
Matt Ryan started the first seven games before former coach Frank Reich benched the 37-year-old, turnover-prone veteran in favor of Ehlinger.When Saturday took over in early November, he handed the reins back to Ryan, who made five more starts though he never looked completely recovered from a throwing shoulder injury.Foles, an 11-year veteran, as the starter last week against the Los Angeles Chargers.
But after being sacked a career-high seven times in his first start in exactly one year, Foles was injured Sunday and will now be replaced by Ehlinger. “Sam’s going to be our guy. I was happy with the way he played yesterday,” Saturday said. “He didn’t do everything perfect, but his energy was good, and he worked the ball down the field. We pulled off at the end to protect him for this week. So it will be Sam this week with Matt backing up.”The 33-year-old Foles was the Super Bowl MVP following the 2017 season when he helped lead the Philadelphia Eagles to their first world championship in the Super Bowl era.
Foles and Ehlinger also attended the same Texas high school as Drew Brees, Austin Westlake. Brees graduated from the school in 1997, Foles in 2007 and Ehlinger in 2017.
