HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders are sticking with Gardner Minshew as their starting quarterback, coach Antonio Pierce announced Wednesday.
The announcement comes as Raiders return from their bye week and despite Minshew's recent benching and his 12 turnovers, second most in the NFL.
The Raiders play at the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
"Listen, when we brought in Gardner, we expected, obviously, the play that we had seen in the past and at some point, you've got to give a guy confidence," Pierce said. "And there's been times, obviously, with turnovers and other things that have taken place, where we made decisions to either put him on the bench or go to another quarterback.
