Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew's status for Week 9 is uncertain due to a thumb injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
X-rays taken this week revealed Minshew has multiple fractures and a strained ligament in his right thumb. He has been dealing with the injuries since Jacksonville's Oct. 11 loss to the Texans, but he didn't tell the team about his injury until this week, reports Schefter.
Minshew had a postgame X-ray taken in Los Angeles when he told the team about his pain after the Jaguars' 39–29 loss to the Chargers.
Jacksonville has a bye this week, which will give Minshew time to heal.
