According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Gardner Minshew has a "chance" to retain the starting job upon Nick Foles' return in Week 11.
With Foles fully expected to return in Week 11 following a broken collarbone suffered in Jacksonville's opener, Minshew will have a lot riding on Sunday's game in London, the Jags' final contest before their Week 10 bye. Alluding to the uncertainty of Jacksonville's quarterback hierarchy, Rapoport said the situation is "up in the air" while adding that it's "no guarantee" Foles returns to his starting job upon his return to active status. A fan favorite and leading Rookie of the Year candidate, Minshew has done a remarkable job in Foles' stead, producing an electric 98.9 quarterback rating in eight appearances while submitting an equally brilliant 13-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio. It will be a tough decision for coach Doug Marrone, who must now choose between a wildly popular cultural phenomenon and a former Super Bowl MVP signed to an $88-million contract.
