Jaguars trade for a backup QB—but not a 49ers backup QB

One of the storylines over the weekend was the injury of Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles. In their contest against the Kansas City Chiefs, Foles broke his clavicle in the first quarter. The show turned to rookie Gardner Minshew for the remainder of the game, and he wasn’t awful, going 22 for 25, two touchdowns and an interception.

But Foles is out for a while, and the Jaguars need a quarterback. So they traded for Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Josh Dobbs. The deal involves Dobbs for a fifth-rounder per Ian Rapoport.
