The Eagles are impressed with the development of rookie quarterback Nick Foles so far this summer.

Foles, who entered training camp as the No. 3 option behind Michael Vick and Mike Kafka, has gotten a chance to work with the second-team offense in the wake of an injury to Kafka.

"I think what you look at with any rookie is, are they getting better every day?" coach Andy Reid said.

"He seems to be doing that and is more comfortable. We’ve got a load of plays in for him and he's able to recite those properly. Now it is just making sure he's got everybody down and that comes with reps but I would tell you we knew he was smart coming in and he hasn't disappointed us in that area. He's a pretty sharp kid, very diligent, works hard, and all of those things."

Foles is expected to see a lot of playing time on Monday night against the Patriots.
