Apparently Nick Foles had an “Elbow Issue” During Super Bowl Run

Let’s get it back to the Eagles with a Nick Foles nugget:
Reich shared that most people didn’t know about the elbow injury and that his arm is about 20-30% stronger now #ForTheShoe

For real? Did we know about this? I cannot remember hearing about BDN dealing with an elbow issue during the playoff run. Guy was dropping dimes all over the field, so if that was him at less than 100%, what would a full-health Foles have done in that postseason? 10 touchdowns and zero picks? 82% completion rate? He was close to flawless against the Vikings and Patriots, but if he was dealing with some discomfort that just makes the Super Bowl run even better. Underdogs, etc. Carson Wentz goes down, Nick Foles steps it up, Alshon is out here catching touchdowns with a torn rotator cuff, Big V holding down the fort, etc. The legend of that postseason run just continues to grow.
Go Birds.
