    Cardinals' Gardner Minshew: Joining Arizona

    Gardner Minshew is in line to sign a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Minshew's odds of starting Week 1 will depend on Arizona's other moves this offseason, with Jacoby Brissett and Kedon Slovis being the other QBs currently under contract. Minshew replaced an injured Patrick Mahomes (knee) in Kansas City this past December, only to suffer a season-ending knee injury of his own during his first start. Initial reports said the injury might be an ACL tear, but Minshew ultimately was diagnosed with just a bone bruise and made a full recovery by the end of January, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Chiefs' Gardner Minshew: Avoids surgery, already healthy

    Gardner Minshew (knee) will not require any procedures to address the season-ending knee injury he suffered in Week 16 and is already back to full strength, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Minshew missed the final two games of the regular season due to a left knee injury initially reported as a torn ACL and was then diagnosed as a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture, though Schefter now reports that the veteran quarterback merely suffered a bone bruise. After having played out the 2025 season on a one-year, $1.17 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, Minshew will now be fully healthy in time to hit free agency this offseason. If he doesn't reunite with Kansas City, Minshew should have little difficulty securing a backup role elsewhere in the league.

    Chiefs' Gardner Minshew: Sent to injured reserve

    The Kansas City Chiefs placed Gardner Minshew (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.While Minshew avoided a torn ACL, which was the initial fear Sunday, he's been diagnosed with a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's enough to end Minshew's season, as he'll miss the final two weeks. In the meantime, Kansas City will play out the string on the season with Chris Oladokun and Shane Buechele as its quarterback options.

    Chiefs' Gardner Minshew: Avoids torn ACL

    Gardner 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 still is 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 Kansas City Chiefs are slated to sign Shane Buechele off the Bills' practice squad to join Oladokun in the quarterback room.

    Chiefs' Gardner Minshew: Set to start rest of season

    Gardner 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 Kansas City 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.

    Chiefs' Gardner Minshew: Replaces injured Mahomes in loss

    Gardner Minshew entered Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers for an injured Patrick Mahomes (knee) with 1:53 remaining and completed three of five passes for 22 yards with no touchdowns and an interception.After Mahomes suffered an injury near the right sideline on an incomplete pass on the first play following the two-minute warning, Minshew was summoned for emergency duty in his first taste of regular-season action in 2025. Minshew proceeded to keep the Kansas City Chiefs' last-gasp drive alive with completions of 11 and eight yards to Travis Kelce and a three-yard connection to Rashee Rice. However, the veteran signal-caller eventually hung the ball up on his fifth pass attempt, and Derwin James cut underneath Kelce to grab the interception and officially eliminate Kansas City from postseason contention in the process. With Mahomes set to undergo an MRI, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, and head coach Andy Reid not expressing optimism about the severity of the injury, Minshew appears likely to serve as the Chiefs' starting quarterback over the final three games of the regular season.

    Chiefs' Gardner Minshew: Plays well in exhibition start

    Gardner Minshew completed seven of nine pass attempts for 70 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 33-16 preseason loss to the Seahawks.Minshew got the nod under center with Patrick Mahomes resting after playing briefly in Kansas City's preseason opener. The veteran backup looked sharp out of the gates, cashing in a short touchdown pass to Robert Tonyan on the team's second offensive drive. It was a great sign to see Minshew slinging the ball around after suffering a broken collarbone last season with the Raiders. Expect Minshew to serve as Mahomes' primary backup this upcoming season.
