Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Nick Foles left the ground after a collision on Wednesday in a preseason match against New England Patriots. He injured his shoulder and was in doubt to start the season but the latest medical reports suggest that the Super Bowl MVP is not expected to undergo a "prolonged recovery."
He underwent a test on Friday which revealed that the injury wasn't serious, the reports claimed.
#Eagles QB Nick Foles was optimistic and confident that his shoulder injury last night was a minor one... and it is. Source said after tests that’s he’s ok. Don’t expect any prolonged recovery.

Though the duration of his possible absence is not yet revealed, he is unlikely to miss the regular season's matches.
Foles was not having any serious pain on his shoulder when he left the ground. After the game, he said:
"I was getting ready to throw a deep ball and it got grabbed as I was following on through so it sort of got a little strained. So you know, I was with the trainers, we'll - I'll go in tomorrow and get treatment on it and sort of go from there. But it feels alright, feels pretty good. Hopefully, there's no issue."
The Eagles will start their regular season with a match against the Falcons before taking on the Buccaneers, Colts, and Titans.
Strip sack! Recovery!
