Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew suffered a broken collarbone during Sunday’s 29-19 loss to the Denver Broncos. NFL Network Reports.
Due to the injury, the Raiders only have Desmond Ridder at quarterback. The Raiders placed Aidan O’Connell on injured reserve in October with a broken thumb. He was reportedly given an initial deadline of four to six weeks to return. It is not clear how far he is in his recovery.
Minshew suffered his injury on the Raiders’ penultimate drive with 2:57 left on the game clock and Denver ahead, 26-19. Cody Barton and Jonathon Cooper combined to sack Minshew on the first play of the drive. Barton’s tackle drove Minshew’s left (non-throwing) shoulder into the turf.
Minshew was clearly in pain after the game and walked off the field with the help of trainers. Ridder finished the game at quarterback. The Raiders signed Ridder off the Falcons’ practice squad in October when O’Connell injured his thumb.
This is a breaking story that will be updated.
