The Colts released Foles on Friday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was always coming for Foles after the Colts added Gardner Minshew in free agency and then Anthony Richardson in the 2023 NFL Draft at No. 4 overall. The move saves Indy $2.1 million against the cap. Foles will look for backup work elsewhere after going 0-2 with a 59.5 percent completion rate, zero touchdowns and four interceptions in two starts last year.

Foles (ribs) won't play Sunday against the Texans, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Interim coach Jeff Saturday said Foles is "really sore" after exiting the team's Week 17 loss to the Giants with a rib injury, so the veteran quarterback will sit out the regular-season finale. Sam Ehlinger will draw another start, while Matt Ryan will operate as the backup.

Foles was forced out of Sunday's game against the Giants with an injury to his ribs, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to his exit from the game, Foles had completed eight of his 13 pass attempts for 81 yards and a pick. With Matt Ryan inactive Sunday, Sam Ehlinger will take over at QB for the Colts.

Interim head coach Jeff Saturday confirmed Foles will remain the Colts' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Giants, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite struggling mightily in his first extended action of the season in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers, Foles will be awarded another start while the Colts continue to look for an answer at quarterback while the campaign winds down. Foles completed 17 of 29 pass attempts for 143 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions while taking seven sacks in the Week 16 loss. If Foles is unable to show much improvement during the upcoming weekend, Saturday could turn to Matt Ryan or second-year player Sam Ehlinger to start the Jan. 8 season finale versus the Texans.

Foles is expected to make a second consecutive start Sunday against the Giants, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. "Six more days until you're back out there," interim head coach Jeff Saturday told Foles following Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

While seeing his first extended action of the season Monday, Foles was unable to end the Colts' four-game losing streak, completing 17 of 29 attempts on the night for 143 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions while taking seven sacks. Though he was unable to meet the low standards that Matt Ryan and Sam Ehlinger set during their 12 and two starts, respectively, Foles looks like he'll be given another chance to redeem himself after he had less than a week to prep for Monday's starting assignment. If Foles fails to show much improvement against the Giants, it's possible that Saturday turns the offense back over to Ehlinger or Ryan for the regular-season finale Jan. 8 versus the Texans.

Foles completed 17 of 29 passes for 143 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Foles made his first start of the season, though his performance closely resembled that of the benched Matt Ryan. Foles turned the ball over three times, but he also wasn't helped by the Colts' offensive line and was sacked seven times. His day was highlighted by a few long completions, two of which came early in the game to Jelani Woods for gains of 17 and 15 yards. It's unclear whether Foles will remain the starter for a Week 17 matchup against the Giants.

Foles will start at quarterback in Monday's game against the Chargers, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts official site reports. "I feel like Nick will give us a better chance to win these last three games," interim head coach Jeff Saturday said Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Foles will take over the reins of the Indianapolis offense for Matt Ryan, who returns to the bench after the 4-9-1 Colts surrendered a 33-point lead in last week's overtime loss to the Vikings. Though Foles' recent track record doesn't make him a comfortable starting option in leagues that start just one quarterback, he could have some utility in two-quarterback or superflex formats Week 16. Saturday said that he hasn't decided whether Ryan or Sam Ehlinger will back up Foles on Monday, while adding that Indianapolis' plan at quarterback will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis for the final three games of the season.

Foles is slated to serve as the Colts' No. 2 QB against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meanhile, Sam Ehlinger is a healthy inactive, with Foles now slated to serve as Matt Ryan's backup in Week 13. Foles last attempted a regular-season pass during the 2021 season while with the Bears.

Foles is in line to serve as the team's No. 3 quarterback behind Sam Ehlinger and Matt Ryan during Sunday's game against the Raiders, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

In the past two contests, Foles operated as Ehlinger's primary backup given that Ryan was sidelined due to a shoulder issue. Now that Ryan is back in the mix, the 33-year-old will return to his role as the team's No. 3 signal caller for Sunday's matchup in Las Vegas. Expect Foles to be inactive for the contest.

Foles (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Foles' move to the inactive list was fully expected after Mike Chappell of Fox 59 Indianapolis reported Friday that second-year signal-caller Sam Ehlinger had supplanted the veteran as the No. 2 quarterback behind Matt Ryan. Unless Ryan misses time at any point or if Ehlinger regresses in his subsequent practices, Foles looks as though he could find himself as the third option on the depth chart for the rest of the season.
