Nick Foles will start at quarterback for Chiefs on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Nick Foles will start under center for Week 9's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

What It Means:

While the Chiefs have claimed that starting quarterback Alex Smith didn't suffer a concussion in Week 8, his being held out suggests a different story, and he will likely re-claim the starting job whenever he returns.

Foles will have a fairly tough matchup this week against a Jacksonville defense that ranks 13th in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play.
