Jaguars trade for Josh Dobbs after Foles injury
The Jacksonville Jaguars have traded a 2020 fifth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for quarterback Josh Dobbs, the teams announced on Monday.
The move comes after Jaguars starting pivot Nick Foles broke his clavicle Sunday versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The injury left rookie Gardner Minshew as the only quarterback on Jacksonville's roster.
Dobbs was third on the Steelers' quarterback depth chart, behind Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph. He was Pittsburgh's fourth-round pick in 2017 and has appeared in just five games while playing in mop-up duty.
Minshew will remain the Jaguars' starting quarterback for now, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 2019 sixth-round pick impressed after taking over for Foles on Sunday, completing 22 of his 25 pass attempts for 275 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
The Jaguars lost their season opener 40-26 and will visit the Houston Texans in Week 2.
