(AP) \u2014 Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew hurt his left knee Sunday in the second quarter against the Tennessee Titans and was ruled out for the rest of the game. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Chris Oladokun replaced Minshew, who was making his first start this season for the Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes on injured reserve after tearing two knee ligaments last week. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Minshew&#8217;s last play came on a safety when Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons tackled Kareem Hunt in the end zone with 13:06 left in the second. Minshew finished 3 of 8 for 15 yards before his injury. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">When the Chiefs got the ball back, Oladokun, just signed to the roster, took over. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Oladokun handed off on his first five plays. Oladokun wound up throwing away his first pass attempt before finally connecting with Travis Kelce on a 6-yard completion for his first in the NFL. The Chiefs settled for a 54-yard field goal by Harrison Butker for a 3-2 lead. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">His only previous NFL regular-season game came Jan. 5 backing up Carson Wentz for the Chiefs in a 38-0 blowout loss to Denver. Oladokun ran once for 5 yards, was sacked once and had a fumble in that loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">He started at South Florida and also attended Samford and South Dakota State. Pittsburgh drafted Oladokun in 2022 with a seventh-round pick. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">___<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">AP NFL: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/nfl<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Associated Press<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.
