Gardner Minshew Reinherits starting role

Minshew will return to the starting lineup for Las Vegas beginning Week 8 against the Chiefs with Aidan O'Connell (thumb) expected to be placed on IR, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Minshew's grasp on the starting gig lasted just five weeks before head coach Antonio Pierce opted to turn to O'Connell during Las Vegas' Week 5 loss to Denver, but the veteran now looks set to return to the No. 1 role with his competition having suffered a thumb fracture during Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams. After replacing O'Connell versus Los Angeles, Minshew completed 15 of 34 passes for 154 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions, putting him at a 4:8 TD:INT on the season. With former No. 1 wide receiver Davante Adams now a member of the Jets, it's difficult to picture Minshew's production rapidly improving heading into a difficult matchup against Kansas City.
