Gardner Minshew II Throwing at OTAs

Friday, June 6, 3:50 PM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) has been throwing during voluntary organized team activities. Minshew broke his collarbone in 2024 while with the Las Vegas Raiders and was limited to 10 games (nine starts), in which he threw for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his only year in the desert. Now that he's recovered from the injury, the 29-year-old signal-caller is expected to open the 2025 season as the backup to starter Patrick Mahomes, with Bailey Zappe likely being named the third-stringer. Minshew was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2023 with the Indianapolis Colts, but he'll be off the fantasy radar completely in his seventh season in the NFL as long as Mahomes stays healthy.

Joe Milton III Returns to Thursday's Practice

Thursday, August 7, 7:32 PM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III (thumb) was back at training camp practice on Thursday after leaving Tuesday's joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams with a thumb injury. Now that Milton is back on the field, he's likely to see plenty of action in the team's preseason opener on Saturday against the Rams with starter Dak Prescott expected to sit out. The 25-year-old should be Dallas' backup signal-caller to Prescott in 2025, with Will Grier serving in the No. 3 role. Milton was selected in the sixth round (193rd overall) by the New England Patriots in 2024. He played in just one game as a rookie, going 22-for-29 with 241 yards and a touchdown in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Bills. Milton has some intrigue as a dual-threat option at the position and could be in play in superflex leagues if Prescott goes down with another injury in 2025.
