Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew left the game against the Titans with a knee injury. Despite some fears of a torn ACL, tests showed that Minshew's ACL is in tact. He is still expected to miss time and not return this season. Ian Rapoport reports that the injury is specifcally a bad bone bruise, non-displaced tibial plateau fracture. Minshew was placed on IR. With Minshew missing the season, the Chiefs have signed QB Shane Buechele from the Bills' practice squad. He spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons with the Chiefs.

With QB Patrick Mahomes out for the season after tearing his ACL and WR Rashee Rice missing this week with a concussion, the Chiefs offense struggled against a poor Titans’ defense. QB Gardner Minshew left the game with a knee injury in the second quarter forcing the team to turn to QB Chris Oladokun. The team only scored 6 points* for the remainder of the game.

The Chiefs believe QB Gardner Minshew tore his left ACL in the loss to the Titans, according to Chiefs Digest's Matt Derrick. Minshew is scheduled for an MRI to confirm, but he likely becomes the second straight Chiefs QB to suffer a season-ending knee injury. Kansas City will be down to QB Chris Oladokun the rest of the way. The 28-year-old, 2022 seventh-round pick had not thrown a regular-season pass before going 11-of-16 for 111 yards vs. the Titans today. Other than maybe WR Rashee Rice and TE Travis Kelce, the Chiefs' passing game will be hands-off against the Broncos in Week 17.

Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He went back to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. QB Chris Oladokun, who hadn't thrown a regular-season NFL pass coming into today, is now under center for the Chiefs.

Update: Minshew has been ruled out.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is in concussion protocol and won't practice on Wednesday, HC Andy Reid said. Rice finished out the Week 15 loss to the Chargers but must have reported symptoms sometime since. He's now unlikely to play vs. the Titans on Sunday, removing a huge chunk of Kansas City's passing game. Since returning in Week 7, Rice has accounted for:

• 26.5% of the team's targets
• 29.4% of the catches
• 29.0% of the receiving yards
• 45.5% of the receiving TDs

Rice's absence would free up a bunch of opportunity for guys like WR Xavier Worthy and TE Travis Kelce. But it's tough to get too excited about anything in this Gardner Minshew-led passing game.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes tore his left ACL in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Chargers. That will obviously end his season. We'll see about the return timeline once doctors assess and address the full damage.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes injured his left knee in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. The knee hyperextended as he was scrambling away from pressure. Mahomes was in obvious pain but was able to limp off over his own power. We'll update Mahomes' status when we know more. QB Gardner Minshew is in for the Chiefs.

The Raiders will be releasing QB Gardner Minshew when the new league year begins next week, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Minshew started nine of his 10 appearances in his lone season with the Raiders, throwing just 9 TDs vs. 10 INTs with a career-low 6.6 yards per attempt.

Raiders QB Gardner Minshew will miss the rest of the season after breaking his collarbone in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. HC Antonio Pierce said afterward that QB Aidan O'Connell might be ready to return from his broken thumb for Friday's game vs. the Chiefs. If not, Vegas would start QB Desmond Ridder, who went 5-for-10 for 64 yards with a lost fumble in relief of Minshew vs. Denver. We'll keep you updated on the situation, but this remains a spot to avoid in fantasy lineups.

Raiders QB Gardner Minshew suffered an apparent left shoulder injury late in Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. He was replaced by QB Desmond Ridder. QB Aidan O'Connell is expected back from his broken thumb within the next week or two. We'll see who's under center for Vegas against the Chiefs on Friday afternoon, but you won't want that guy in your fantasy lineup.
