Gardner Minshew is set to return as the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs. This change comes after Aidan O'Connell is expected to be placed on IR due to a thumb injury. Minshew's previous stint as the starter was short-lived, and he struggled in his last appearance, leading to his demotion. With the departure of star wide receiver Davante Adams to the Jets, Minshew's prospects for improvement seem bleak heading into a challenging matchup.

• Minshew's return to the starting role comes after a brief demotion due to poor performance.
• The loss of Davante Adams significantly impacts Minshew's potential production.
