The Facts: Foles is back where it all began for him. Back with the organization that drafted him. Back with the team where he made 24 of his 36 career starts. Back where he had that magical 27-touchdown, two-interception season in 2013. But he's back as a reserve. "Every quarterback wants to play and be in the huddle," Foles, 28, said. "But my role right now is to be the backup quarterback here and help Carson [Wentz] in any way I can."
Diehards Line:Foles became a free agent last week after the Chiefs didn't pick up his contract option. After a short, fruitless search for a team willing to give him a chance to compete for a starting job, he signed with the Eagles. Asked about 2013, when he also led the league in yards per attempt (9.12) in addition to throwing those 27 TDs and two interceptions, Foles said: "That player still is capable (of playing at that level). That player is still here. I've continued to grow and excel as a player. Having started 24 games for the Eagles, Foles can provide Wentz with a perspective the Eagles' previous backup, Chase Daniel, couldn't.
