The nightmare season for the Las Vegas Raiders continues. Not only did the team drop their seventh-straight game in a 29-19 loss to the Denver Broncos, but another starter is headed to the Injured Reserve.
Quarterback Gardner Minshew had to leave the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent shoulder injury. Head coach Antonio Pierce said after the game that things didn't look good and it's about as bad as it can get for the Raiders.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, Minshew broke his collarbone and he will be out for the rest of the season. He is now the second Raiders starting quarterback who is getting put on Injured Reserve as Aidan O'Connell is currently not playing.
Luckily, O'Connell could return as early as this week against the Kansas City Chiefs but it sounds like there's no chance of Minshew coming back. This put an end to a very disappointing season for the veteran quarterback. For just the second time in his career, he was given a chance to be a Week 1 starter.
He played very poorly to start the season and was benched for O'Connell in Week 6. The Raiders gave him a two-year, $25 million contract in free agency but he was never able to play at a high level consistently as he finishes the season with nine touchdown passes to 10 interceptions.
