The Chiefs received some positive quarterback news on Monday, something they desperately needed with Patrick Mahomes being out for the season with a torn ACL. On Sunday vs. the Titans, Kansas City backup quarterback Gardner Minshew was believed to tear his ACL after he left the contest early with a knee injury.
The Chiefs learned on Monday, though, that Minshew avoided tearing his ACL, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported. However, Minshew still has a knee injury and was later put on the season-ending injured reserve list by the Chiefs. Rapoport said his official diagnosis is a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture.
