Nick Foles will start at quarterback in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts after he rallied the Chicago Bears to a comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday in relief of Mitchell Trubisky.

The announcement was made by coach Matt Nagy, who also said tests confirmed that running back Tarik Cohen has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.

Nagy benched Trubisky in favor of Foles with Chicago trailing by 16 points in the third quarter. Foles responded by throwing three second-half touchdown passes, including the game-winning 28-yard strike to Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller just after the two-minute warning.

Foles also had touchdown passes to Allen Robinson and Jimmy Graham. He finished the game 16-for-29 for 188 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He had two additional touchdown passes overturned by the officials.

Cohen suffered his injury on a punt return when Atlanta's Brian Hill got pushed into the back of his right leg, caused his knee to bend awkwardly. Cohen went to the ground and immediately clutched his right knee. The 5-foot-6 all-purpose threat was unable to put any pressure on his right leg when trainers help him off the field.

He had two carries for 21 yards and three receptions for 20 yards before the injury.
