The Kansas City Chiefs are concerned starting quarterback Gardner Minshew suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans, ESPN reported.
Minshew left the game in Nashville in the second quarter with a left knee injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
It is the second consecutive week a Chiefs quarterback went down with a knee injury after Patrick Mahomes was injured late in last week's 16-13 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Mahomes was later diagnosed with two torn ligaments in his left knee.
Minshew was injured on a scramble during Kansas City's first possession and limped off the field but returned to play the team's next three possessions. When the Chiefs got the ball at their 36 with 11:39 left in the half, Chris Oladokun replaced Minshew.
Oladokun, who has been on Kansas City's practice squad the last two years, led a scoring drive that culminated in Harrison Butker's 54-yard field goal for a 3-2 lead with 7:40 remaining in the half. He finished 11 of 16 for 111 yards and had two carries for 7 yards.
Prior to his departure, Minshew completed 3 of 8 passes for 15 yards and had one run for 8 yards. He replaced Mahomes late in last week's game but threw an interception in a loss that eliminated the Chiefs from playoff contention.
