LAS VEGAS – Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew was named the Week 11 starter for the team’s upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins, head coach Antonio Pierce announced Wednesday.
“When we brought in Gardner, we expected the play we’ve seen in the past. At some point, you got to give the guy confidence,” Pierce said to media via the Raiders website. “There have been times when turnovers and other things have taken place. We have made a decision to go with another quarterback. This week, I felt Gardner gives us the best opportunity to move forward.
