If they had a quarterback I think, they wouldn’t be afflicted by being.
Mariota did suffer a slight injury but practiced on Tuesday and is expected to play. His quad was wrapped so he may not be working at 100% on Thursday. The Jaguars will go with rookie Gardner Minshew as their starting quarterback. They’ve no other choice. Foles is looking to reunite around Week 11, but after having plates and screws inserted in his collarbone, they’re not likely to rush back.
The former Washington State Cougar, Minshew, obtained his first NFL start. With a decent performance, his coaching staff impressed Regardless of a 13-12 loss. He showcased a great deal of assurance, which will be among the most significant things to get a young newcomer. Since Minshew is a guy who came in college from an Mike Leach offense it is especially notable.
Going from the air raid could be difficult for gamers, but Minshew looked nice out there. That will not guarantee that a repeat performance within better this week against the Titans.
