The Jacksonville Jaguars are moving on from quarterback Nick Foles and going to rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew for the rest of the season, according to an official team announcement on Monday.

Minshew initially took the starting gig when Foles suffered a broken collarbone earlier in the season, but Foles’ recent return resulted in blowout losses and clear struggles to be productive, leading the Jags to go back to Minshew.

Foles inked a four-year, $88 million deal with the Jags during the offseason, including $50 million guaranteed, but the Jags may already be looking to move on from Foles this offseason.
