Jaguar QB Foles returns to practice
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles was able to return to practice in less than two months because he completely broke his left collarbone.
Foles said Wednesday he actually benefited from the severity of the injury, which happened on Jacksonville's second possession of the season opener.
“What's amazing with medicine (is) you get a hairline fracture, where you don't need surgery, it can take longer,” Foles said. “You snap it, you need surgery and put a plate in there, it can actually heal quicker. So snapping it actually helped it. Little more painful, but I get to buzz every time I go through the airport now.
“I get to get stopped and checked. I get to meet more people. It's great.”
