AFC Notes: Gardner Minshew, Colts, Jaguars, Titans

Colts

Colts QB Gardner Minshew says he doesn’t have any extra juice for going back to Jacksonville to start this week. Minshew entered the league as a sixth-round pick by the Jaguars and started a couple of seasons for them before being traded. 

“Not really, man,” Minshew said via the team website. “Just excited to get out there and play football. Wherever, whenever, it’s always a good time.”
