Former Eagles updates: Touchdowns, turnovers, and a benching

The Eagles were on bye in Week 5, but there were plenty of former players and coaches making waves throughout the NFL.

Here’s a look at some of the notables:

Gardner Minshew benched in Las Vegas

The former Eagles QB only had the starting job through five games for the Raiders before being benched for Aidan O’Connell ahead of their Week 6 game. Minshew had a career-high 70.7 completion percentage through five games, connecting on 99 passes for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. The team was 2-3, and Minshew threw two interceptions to just one TD against the Broncos in his final game as the starter.
