Possible timeline for Jaguars QB Nick Foles after clavicle fracture, surgery
Only minutes into his first game as the
franchise quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Nick Foles suffered a
left shoulder injury and stands to miss a significant portion of the
upcoming season.
Foles threw a touchdown pass to DJ Chark before
heading to the sidelines holding his non-throwing arm. The team quickly
announced he would be out of the rest of the game with a left shoulder
injury.Head coach Doug Marrone told reporters after the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that Foles suffered a left clavicle fracture, or a broken collarbone. Foles himself announced he would undergo surgery Monday. No timeline for his expected return has been announced.
A clavicle fracture, or a broken collarbone, is unfortunately a common injury in contact and collision sports, such as football. Typically the injury occurs when the athlete lands on his or her shoulder. X-rays generally confirm the nature of the injury without the need for further tests, like an MRI.
