Coming out of their bye week at 4-5, the Jacksonville Jaguars have a lot of ground to make up if they want to make the postseason. Leading the way on offense will be quarterback Nick Foles, who will be coming off collarbone surgery.

Due to his résumé with the Philadelphia Eagles, Foles already has a lot of veterans supporting him in the locker room, and Calais Campbell may be his biggest endorser. Joining ESPN’s “First Take” on Friday, Campbell was asked to give his thoughts on Foles, and he praised the QB by stating he might be a top candidate for league MVP had he not suffered the injury.

“Love him. Love him,” Campbell said Friday. “Ultimate leader, such a good guy. “I really, truly believe this too: If he didn’t get hurt, he’d be competing for MVP of the league right now. I know that is a big statement, but he is, you know, an incredible .”

Talk about praise from one of the best.

Coach Doug Marrone announced Tuesday that Foles would be the team’s starter again after Gardner Minshew II had filled in admirably. The rookie was able to go 4-4 while filling in for Foles. Now, despite the task being a tall one, the Jags will turn to the veteran for approximately six more wins, which should be good enough to get Jacksonville a playoff berth.

When Foles takes the field Week 11, it will be the third straight year he’s been tasked with leading a team to the playoffs after being inserted into the lineup late in the season. In 2017, he replaced an injured Carson Wentz in Week 14 and led the Eagles past the Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings in the NFC playoffs and then to an upset of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, where he was named the game’s MVP. Last year, after another injury to Wentz, Foles took over in Week 15 and led the Eagles to an improbable wild-card berth and a road upset of the Chicago Bears.
