GREEN BAY — Sporting a shirt-sleeve shirt and zero padding on his injured collarbone, Eagles quarterback Nick Foles took part in some light on-the-field work prior to his teams game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Foles, who cracked his collarbone two weeks ago in the team's win over the Houston Texans, tossed the ball around with fellow quarterback G.J. Kinne for about 15 minutes before running sprints with the members of the practice squad.

The team's starting quarterback showed zero signs of being injured as he ran around the field, making one handed catches and pretending to drop back in "the pocket" a few times before firing off a pass.

His passes weren't long, but considering he is two weeks out from an injury that could keep him out six-to-eight weeks, he looked surprisingly good.

By electing not to have surgery on his injury, which is reportedly a distal clavicle injury, Foles left the door open to a return. Had he underwent surgery, he would have been out eight weeks, effectively ending his season.

Since he did not undergo surgery, however, Foles is leaving his return up to how quickly the bone heals — something that could take three weeks, four weeks, six weeks, or longer.

The Eagles have been radio-silent on the status of Foles, simply saying close to two weeks ago that Foles will see a doctor in "three or four weeks" for an update on the cracked bone.

If it is healed, Foles could be back (assuming the Eagles want to give him the job back) sooner than expected once he is cleared.
