Before the season started, it was easy to think that sophomore quarterback Gardner Minshew II was going to be winning some games for the Jacksonville Jaguars at this point of the year. Instead, the Washington State standout is out after finding out that he’s got multiple fractures and a strained ligament in his right thumb.
Not all is lost though, as the ‘Jags’ are giving the keys of their offense to first-year quarterback Jake Luton and will get the starting nod against the Houston Texans in Week 9. This was a good development because the team’s brass could have gone with veteran Mike Glennon but decided to bet on the potential of their 2020 sixth-round selection.
