JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew has a strained ligament and multiple fractures in his right thumb. The injury could prompt coach Doug Marrone to turn to rookie Jake Luton after the team’s bye week. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Thursday because the Jaguars have not disclosed Minshew’s injury publicly. The person said the team didn’t know about Minshew playing the last two games in pain until this week. Luton is a sixth-round draft pick from Oregon State.
