Just a few days after Nick Foles was wincing in pain on the field at Gillette Stadium, he's all good.
It was just a minor shoulder strain. Foles will practice today.
"He's fine," Pederson said. "Yeah, he's good."
Foles suffered the injury early in the second quarter. He was taken out of the game but was very optimistic late Thursday night. He was right about his injury. Tests showed it was minor, indeed.
That's obviously great news for the Eagles, who kept Foles as an expensive insurance policy for Carson Wentz. The Eagles still hope Wentz will be ready for Week 1, but if he's not, they have a Super Bowl MVP to fall back on.
As Wentz returns to 11-on-11 action today, he and Foles will split first-team reps "50-50," according to Pederson.
This afternoon, Pederson also updated a few other injuries:
Philadelphia Eagles
Complete coverage of the Philadelphia Eagles and their NFL rivals from NBC Sports Philadelphia.
• Don't expect to see Darren Sproles or Jason Peters at all this preseason. Pederson said he doesn't need to see them in a game. Sproles and Peters are both over 30 and coming off ACL tears.
"Overall, they're great," Pederson said. "Right on track. Both of them are healthy and doing a nice job. I don't necessarily need to see these guys. These two guys have played a ton of games."
Pederson said they see enough from those two players during practices, which can be tougher on them than an actual game. Pederson thinks they're ready to play.
• Tight end Richard Rodgers, who suffered a knee injury against the Patriots, is considered to be "week to week." That means we might not see him for a while. If Rodgers isn't healthy by the start of the regular season, the Eagles will have a decision to make. Maybe they keep a fourth TE for a little bit.
• Corey Clement and Nelson Agholor are considered "day to day," Pederson said. Both have lower-body injuries and didn't play in Thursday's game. If they don't practice this week, expect them to miss this coming Thursday's game in Cleveland.
• Jalen Mills, who didn't play Thursday after leaving Tuesday's practice early, will practice today. He'll be limited to individual periods and won't get in for 11-on-11s.
• While Pederson said Donnel Pumphrey is "doing good," he probably won't practice this week. That means he probably won't play in another preseason game. Hard to make the team on the sideline.
