Nick Foles didn't play in last week's preseason game, but he'll see some action against the New England Patriots on Thursday night.

The Super Bowl LII MVP has been dealing with spasms in his trapezius/neck.

Doug Pederson said Foles will "get a few plays" and expanded on how he views playing starting quarterbacks in the preseason.

"I can't speak for other teams and how they do things, but I feel it's important that the starter still maintains timing and rhythm and just getting in the game action," Pederson said. "Getting in that environment with crowd noise, another team. Game is a little faster. And just staying sharp from the quarterback's perspective. So that's what we try to do with our guys, our starters here. So, I do think it's important that our guys do play leading up to Week 1."

Carson Wentz still hopes to start Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, but the timing will be close as he recovers from a torn ACL. The Philadelphia Eagles will re-evaluate Wentz this weekend.
