It’s been six weeks since Gardner Minshew II suited up to play as the Jaguars’ starting quarterback, and now he’s stuck begging to earn his reps back, fully recovered from a previously undisclosed thumb injury that had sidelined him for four games prior to Sunday’s contest against the Cleveland Browns last week.
Minshew started the team’s first seven games of this season, while starting 12 games in 2019 coming in after former Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles broke his collarbone just 11 snaps into the season.
Now, Minshew is dealing with a setback of his own, unable to take reps back from Mike Glennon, the team’s starting quarterback for the past two weeks and the quarterback who will be starting on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans at home.
