ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Gardner Minshew suffered a torn UCL and will undergo season-ending surgery.

This was the expectation after Minshew severely injured his elbow in Week 9 against the Seahawks. His season is over after one incomplete start. Minshew threw for 354 yards and three scores in 2026. The surgery could sideline Minshew for over a year, meaning he may not play in 2027.
