Starting role in question Minshew completed 12 of 17 passes for137 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Broncos. He added two rushes for 22 yards.

Impact Minshew began the game fairly well, as he led the Raiders' on two lengthy drives that resulted in 10 points -- the first of which was capped by a 57-yard touchdown pass. However, things stalled from there, with the low point coming on a 100-yard pick-six by Patrick Surtain. After five additional scoreless drives and another interception, Minshew was pulled late in the third quarter. That marks the second time he's been benched in the last three games, and after the loss, coach Antonio Pierce did not rule out a change under center, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

SEPTEMBER 30 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM

Modest numbers in Week 4 win Minshew completed 14 of 24 passes for 130 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns. He also had two rushing attempts for minus-2 yards.

Impact Minshew held onto the starting job after the Raiders mulled replacing him with Aidan O'Connell, and Minshew justified that decision by managing Vegas to victory. While Minshew's performance wasn't impressive statistically, he avoided major mistakes while the Raiders went run-heavy in the absence of star wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring). Minshew may not be asked to do significantly more in Week 5 against the stout Denver defense, especially if Adams remains unavailable.

Impact Pierce said he pulled Minshew for O'Connell late in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers to "look for a spark," per Tashan Reed of The Athletic, but the team doesn't appear to have yet made a firm decision as to who will start Week 4. Minshew completed 18 of 28 passes for just 214 yards, one touchdown and one interception versus an aggressive Los Angeles defense, though a substantial portion of his production (including his lone TD) came in garbage time. O'Connell, for his part, completed nine of 12 passes for 82 yards and one touchdown, also taking advantage of a more lenient defensive looks late in the fourth quarter. In three regular-season games thus far, Minshew has failed to reach 300 passing yards and has thrown exactly one touchdown and one interception in each contest.
