Raiders QB leaves game against Broncos

play

The Las Vegas Raiders attempted a late comeback against the Denver Broncos when starting quarterback Gardner Minshew left the game with an injury.

Minshew was hurt after being sacked on a first-and-10 play with just a few minutes left in the fourth quarter. The veteran quarterback tried to escape the pressure as he was bundled up by the Broncos’ Cody Barton and Jonathan Cooper.

Barton landed hard on Minshew, who was driven into the ground by his left shoulder. He remained down after the play and was in pain as the Raiders medical staff attended to him.

Here’s what you need to know about Minshew’s injury during the 29-19 loss to the Raiders.

Gardner Minshew injury update

The Raiders did not immediately provide an update on Minshew’s injury. However, it appeared the veteran quarterback injured his left non-throwing shoulder after landing his full body weight on it while being sacked.

Minshew was treated on the field after the injury occurred. He was eventually able to get up, but left the field and went straight into the locker room. The broadcast called that a “bad sign” for the signal caller.

Minshew completed 24 of 42 passes for 230 yards, a touchdown and an interception before leaving Sunday’s game. He was replaced in the match by Desmond Ridder. Minshew’s regular backup, Aidan O’Connell, is currently on injured reserve with a thumb injury.
