VIDEO: Injuries prompt changes to Eagles offensive line

The Eagles starters on the offensive line played every game together last year but after just one game into this season, it's already become a game of musical chairs.

Allen Barber, playing for the suspended Lane Johnson, is now out for the year. Evan Mathis is out for at least eight weeks.

"You hate seeing guys go down, especially your lineman like Allen and Evan but these guys are going to step in and do their job," said Nick Foles.

Now on the job, Dennis Kelly, who was inactive in week one. Kelly is in at left guard and Andrew Gardner is at right tackle.

"Great opportunity, I'm really looking forward to it. More than anything I'm just looking forward to hopefully helping this team get a win against Indianapolis," said Gardner.

"It's going to make it more difficult. You've got some guys who really haven't played a lot," said Jason Peters.

Despite all the changes in front of him, Foles says he doesn't feel any more pressure to do his job.

The quarterback, who has struggled with holding into the ball too long in the pocket, may have even less time to get rid of the ball with all the offensive line changes.

"You can't focus on that. I have faith in them and they have faith in me. We're going to go out there and play the game," said Foles.

"If you have a quarterback worried at all, that's not the way you go into a football game," said Jason Kelce.

For Foles, he isn't worrying about what he can control going into their game against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night.
