• Chiefs' Gardner Minshew: Avoids torn ACL

  1H ago • By RotoWire

  Minshew's MRI on Monday revealed that he didn't suffer a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Rapoport adds that Minshew has been diagnosed with a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture, which is considered a very bad bone bruise. Minshew, however, is still expected to miss game time due to the knee injury, but it's good news for the veteran quarterback nonetheless after a torn ACL was the initial fear. Chris Oladokun came on in relief of Minshew versus Tennessee and completed 11 of 16 passes for 111 scoreless yards. He also rushed two times for seven yards. With Minshew joining Patrick Mahomes (knee) on the shelf, the Chiefs are slated to sign Shane Buechele off the Bills' practice squad to join Oladokun in the quarterback room.

  There are fears that Minshew suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Minshew is slated to undergo additional tests to confirm the severity of his injury, but it looks like he's in line to miss the Chiefs' last two games, based on initial reports. If so, Chris Oladokun would be in line to draw the start at QB for Kansas City on Thursday against the Broncos.

• Chiefs' Gardner Minshew: Week 16 Waiver Priority List

  5D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Minshew will start for the rest of the season for Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes (ACL) out. The only reason to consider Minshew as a Fantasy option is his matchup against Tennessee in Week 16 since the Titans have allowed seven of the past eight quarterbacks to score at least 21.7 Fantasy points, including four in a row. Minshew is a must-add in all Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, and he should be considered a low-end starter in those formats given the matchup.

• Chiefs' Gardner Minshew: Set to start rest of season

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Minshew will start at quarterback the remainder of the 2025 campaign for Kansas City after an MRI confirmed Monday that Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his left knee during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers. Minshew entered Sunday's contest with 1:53 remaining in the fourth quarter, completing three of five throws for 22 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception in what amounted to his first pass attempts of the season. The veteran signal-caller will close out the Chiefs' final three games under center, with matchups looming on the road in Tennessee in Week 16, at home versus Denver in Week 17 and on the road in Las Vegas in Week 18. Minshew is playing out the season on a one-year contract, so if he's able to impress down the stretch it could improve his chances of re-signing with Kansas City. Across 10 appearances with the Raiders in 2024, Minshew completed 203 of 306 pass attempts for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
