HENDERSON, Nev. — Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew is out for the rest of the season with a broken collarbone, coach Antonio Pierce said Monday.

Minshew, 28, served as Jalen Hurts’ backup with the Eagles in 2021-22, going 1-3 as a starter. He is with his fourth NFL team. Minshew has started nine games for the Raiders this season, passing for 2,013 yards with nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Pierce said Aidan O’Connell, who is on injured reserve with a broken thumb, could be available to start when the Raiders visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday.

The Raiders also could turn to Desmond Ridder, who replaced Minshew when he was injured late in Sunday’s 29-19 loss to the Denver Broncos.
