Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Officially moved to IR
Gardner Minshew (collarbone) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.The move was a foregone conclusion, as Minshew broke his left collarbone last Sunday against Denver and had already been ruled out for the rest of the season. Second-year quarterback Aidan O'Connell was activated from IR in a corresponding transaction and is set to start against Kansas City on Friday. Desmond Ridder will continue serving as Las Vegas' backup QB.

Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Season-ending injury confirmed
Head coach Antonio Pierce confirmed Monday that Gardner Minshew will be out for the rest of the season after suffering a broken collarbone in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos, Levi Edwards of the Las Vegas Raiders' official site reports.The report also notes that Pierce confirmed that Aidan O'Connell, who suffered a thumb injury Week 7, could be activated from injured reserve ahead of Friday's game against the Chiefs. "We'll see if Aidan is good to go," Pierce said of O'Connell on Monday. "He's been ramping up." Look for added context regarding O'Connell's status to arrive once the Raiders' first injury report of Week 13 is posted, but if O'Connell isn't ready to face Kansas City, Desmond Ridder would get Las Vegas' starting QB nod.

Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Will get more tests on shoulder
Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters after Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos that Gardner Minshew's left shoulder injury "doesn't look good," and the quarterback will need further testing to determine the severity of the injury, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.Minshew injured his left shoulder on a sack late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. He went to the locker room and did not return, with backup Desmond Ridder taking over under center for the rest of the contest. The Las Vegas Raiders' next game is Friday against the Chiefs, and Pierce relayed there is a chance Aidan O'Connell (thumb) could be activated from injured reserve and suit up for Week 13 if Minshew cannot play, per Tashan Reed of The Athletic.

Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Hurts shoulder Sunday
Gardner Minshew suffered a left shoulder injury during Sunday's contest versus the Broncos.Minshew was sacked three times before he exited in the fourth quarter, the last of which caused his shoulder to be driven into the turf and left him in clear discomfort. He then went to the locker room, where the team deemed him questionable to return. He wasn't able to do so, finishing Week 12 with 230 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 25-for-42 passing and two carries for five yards. Desmond Ridder took over for Minshew under center.

Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Impressive yardage total in loss
Gardner Minshew completed 30 of 43 passes for 282 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding two carries for seven yards in the Las Vegas Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.Minshew accumulated a season high in passing yards while mustering just his second multi-TD effort of the campaign. The veteran quarterback focused the overwhelming majority of his attention on Brock Bowers, who accounted for 13 of Minshew's completions on 16 targets. The remainder of Minshew's production was spread among six other pass catchers, and his pair of scoring tosses landed in the hands of Bowers (23 yards) and Ameer Abdullah (10 yards). Aidan O'Connell (IR, thumb) will remain out for several more weeks, so Minshew will be under center again for a tough Week 12 home matchup against the Broncos next Sunday.

Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Keeping starting job for Week 11
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said that Gardner Minshew will remain the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.Following the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals in Week 9, Pierce said that he would evaluate the team's quarterback situation during the Week 10 bye, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic. Pierce has ultimately decided to stick with Minshew, with Pierce telling Gutierrez that Minshew gives the team "the best opportunity to move forward, and he has every opportunity to go out there and help us get to a win." Desmond Ridder will thus remain in a backup role behind Minshew, who had opened the season as Oakland's starter before losing the job to Aidan O'Connell in Week 6 and then regaining it after O'Connell suffered a fractured thumb in a Week 7 loss to the Rams.

Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Coach non-committal on starting job
Head coach Antonio Pierce declined to say Monday whether Gardner Minshew would retain the Las Vegas Raiders' starting quarterback job following the team's Week 10 bye, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.For the third time in his seven starts this season, Minshew was benched during Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Bengals. Desmond Ridder came on in his place and completed 11 of 16 pass attempts for 74 yards and a touchdown while also losing a fumble. Though unspectacular, Ridder's performance has at least prompted Pierce to consider another changing of the guard at quarterback heading into the Raiders' next game, Week 11 at Miami. Clarity on the Raiders' plans should arrive when the team resumes practicing, but even if Minshew ends up keeping the job, he'll represent a low-end fantasy option. Over his eight appearances, Minshew has turned the ball over 12 times (eight interceptions, four lost fumbles) and has completed 148 of 221 pass attempts (67.0 percent) for 1,501 yards (6.8 YPA) and six touchdowns. Aidan O'Connell, currently on IR with a broken thumb, won't be eligible to return until Week 13.

Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Benched for ineffectiveness
Gardner Minshew completed 10 of 17 passes for 124 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed once for no gain before being replaced by Desmond Ridder with 5:02 remaining in the third quarter of Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Bengals.Minshew's numbers underscore why he ultimately was replaced by Ridder, as the veteran signal-caller made little impact throughout his time in the game. Minshew failed to throw a touchdown for the third time overall this season, and he finished with under 200 yards for the fourth time as well. Ridder was able to lead one touchdown drive late, so it remains to be seen if a quarterback switch is in the offing during the Week 10 bye ahead of a Week 11 road matchup against the Dolphins.

Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Looks good against Chiefs
Gardner Minshew completed 24 of 30 passes for 209 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs. He added two rushes for six yards.Minshew returned to a starting role with Aidan O'Connell (hand) sidelined and managed to average 7.0 yards per attempt for the first time since Week 1. He didn't push the ball down the field aggressively, instead distributing the ball to short areas of the field while allowing his skill-position players to rack up yards after the catch. Minshew managed to play mostly mistake free, though he did lose a costly fumble that ultimately led to the game-winning score for the Chiefs. Overall, it was a decent performance for Minshew, and he showed some rapport with Jakobi Meyers.
