Who Should I Start? Gardner Minshew or Zach Wilson

Tuesday, December 23, 9:38 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew (knee) got good news from an MRI on his injured knee, as his ACL was not torn as initially feared. He's still out for the rest of the season on IR, but his recovery will be quicker since it's a "non-displaced tibial plateau fracture," which is basically a severe bone bruise but does not require surgery. The seventh-year QB was on a one-year deal with the Chiefs, but only played two games this season. He'll be a free agent this offseason, and the fact that he won't have to recover from a torn ACL will make him one of the better backup options on the market. He could return to Kansas City or land with a new team, but wherever he ends up, the fact that he doesn't have a torn ACL should improve his chances of being ready for offseason activities and the start of next season.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson (illness) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the New York Jets. Wilson had been listed as questionable after being a late addition to the injury report on Saturday. In the end, though, the former No. 2 pick will suit up against his old team. He will continue to operate as the backup quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa. Meanwhile, third-string rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers is a healthy scratch once again.
