After seeing the Philadelphia Eagles acquire quarterback Gardner Minshew via a trade, fans wondered when the former Jaguars quarterback would see his first action in green. Thanks to a huge lead in Detroit over the Lions, Minshew made his first appearance for the Eagles on Sunday.
It seems his sleeves, however, did not make the trip:

Sporting an…unorthodox look to his uniform, Minshew took the field.
As you might expect, Twitter was full of jokes.

In perfect Minshew fashion, the quarterback immediately led the Eagles on a scoring drive to push their lead over Detroit to 41-0. On the drive, Minshew hit on both of his passes for 11 yards.
Who needs sleeves?
