Former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles and his wife, Tori, had an emotional announcement earlier on Wednesday regarding a recent miscarriage the family suffered this past weekend.
Tori was just 15 weeks pregnant before having to go to the hospital, where she battled a reported virus and blood infection, which forced her to go into labor early.
“The emotions go back and forth from immense and overwhelming sadness, confusion and anger to a firm belief that God has this fully in his hands and will use this for good,” Tori wrote via an Instagram post. “We cannot always understand or explain, but we know that is true.”
The new Jacksonville Jaguar quarterback missed OTA’s this past weekend, helping to take care of his wife and family. Foles recently signed a four-year, $91 million contract for the Jaguars after his tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles. Foles was signed this off-season after the Jaguars released former QB, Blake Bortles, who now plays for the Los Angeles Rams.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Nick and his family. He knows, like anything else, that we’re here for him,” head coach Doug Marrone said earlier this past weekend, according to NFL.com and the Jaguars’ official website. “The football part, we’ll just figure that out. My mind is on more so of what’s going on the outside, making sure I’m doing the best job I can for the player.”

The Jaguars’ other quarterbacks, Tanner Lee, Alex McGough and Gardner Minshewto, will be rotating the starting job until Foles’ return.
Tori also wrote, “We’ve endured some unique challenges as a couple so far, but never quite knew what something like this felt like and now we do,” she said on her post. The Foles family has returned home from the hospital and is in recovery.
Foles will likely return to voluntary practices later this week, before the mandatory team mini-camp coming up on June 11.
