The Las Vegas Raiders dropped to 2-9 on Sunday after losing to the Denver Broncos. The team once again failed to get any consistency going in the second half, especially on the offense. Quarterback Garnder Minshew suffered a shoulder injury in the game, and it looks like it is significant.

Minshew has officially suffered a broken collarbone in the loss and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season.

The veteran quarterback finished the game with 230 passing yards and a touchdown. Backup Desmond Ridder, one of the newer additions to the Raiders, came in to finish the game for Las Vegas.

Minshew has been struggling all season long to show consistency in his game, and as a result, the offense has been ranked in the bottom half of the league. He has amounted to 1,783 passing yards, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions this season, having him ranked amongst the bottom of the barrel.

With the season-ending injury to Minshew, Las Vegas now only has Ridder and Aidan O'Connell to turn to for these last few weeks of the year. However, quarterback Daniel Jones is still available to pick up if they wanted to, but it is likely the team will tank to try and secure a quarterback in the NFL draft.
