It’s a surprising development to say the least.
Entering the season as the clear primary backup to rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, Minshew ultimately ended up appearing in 17 games, starting in 13 of them, as relief to Richardson due to injuries, including one that ultimately required a season-ending surgery.
