Gardner Minshew is in for the Eagles. His sleeves are not.
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.
Eagles have wings, Michael

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?
