Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II has suffered a season-ending collarbone injury.

Minshew exited the Raiders’ eventual loss to the Broncos on Sunday after being slammed onto his left shoulder.

And according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, the passer will miss the rest of the season with a broken collarbone.

After the game, Raiders coach Antonio Pierce told reporters that Minshew’s injury ‘doesn’t look good.’ 

Minshew had 230 passing yards with a touchdown and interception before exiting the game in the second half.

Austin Ekeler was also left motionless on the field after receiving a huge hit on Sunday

He was replaced by Desmond Ridder, who finished with 64 passing yards. 

The Raiders ultimately lost the game 29-19.  

Minshew’s injury came after Panthers tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders was carted off the field after landing on his head.

Sanders had caught a pass from Bryce Young when he was hit low by Chiefs defensive back Trent McDuffie.

Sanders then flipped in the air and landed on the back of his head out of bounds before trainers raced to attend to him in a scary scene.

And Commanders running back Austin Ekeler was also seen laying motionless on the field after receiving a huge hit in the head from Dallas’ Damone Clark – before also hitting his helmet on the turf.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn confirmed after the game that Ekeler had suffered a concussion.
