Sources: Minshew has multiple thumb fractures
X-rays taken this week revealed that Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew has multiple fractures and a strained ligament in his right thumb, league sources told ESPN.
Minshew has had discomfort in his thumb since Jacksonville’s Oct. 11 game at Houston, a source told ESPN. He did not tell the team about the pain until after the last game, a 39-29 loss to the Chargers, which led to a postgame X-ray in Los Angeles.
The Jaguars (1-6) didn’t know about Minshew’s injury until this week, per sources.
It is uncertain whether Minshew will be able to play when Jacksonville returns from its bye to host the Texans.
