The Las Vegas Raiders lost quarterback Gardner Minshew II to a collarbone injury. The next man up is Desmond RIdder -- whose leadership skills will be put to the test.
The Raiders remained competitive for much of the game, but things got away from them in the fourth quarter as rookie quarterback Bo Nix continues his impressive run.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that starting quarterback Gardner Minshew II suffered a broken collarbone in the loss and will miss the rest of the season. Minshew had thrown for 1,783 yards, eight touchdowns, and nine interceptions in his first season as a Raider. The Falcons traded Ridder to the Arizona Cardinals in March, but he did not make the final 53-man roster. The Raiders picked him up off the Cardinals’ practice squad in October.
Ridder deals with the same problems other Raider quarterbacks have dealt with this season: turnovers. He threw 12 interceptions with the Falcons in 2023 while also losing 12 fumbles.
