Won't play Tuesday Minicucci (leg) is out for Tuesday's contest at Middle Tennessee State.

Impact Minicucci was not able to recover during Delaware's bye week and will miss his second consecutive contest. The quarterback suffered a leg injury in Week 4. In his absence, the lead signal-caller role could be positioned for either EJ Archield or Braden Streeter, as both players saw action against Liberty in Week 5.

Ruled out vs. Flames Minicucci (leg) is out against Liberty on Friday night.

Impact The Blue Hens' starting quarterback was knocked out of Delaware's loss to Virginia in Week 4 and didn't return. He's had a solid if not mind-boggling start to the season, tossing for 838 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions while completing 57.3% of his passes with 26 yards and a score on the ground to boot. In his stead, Braden Streeter -- who was 2-of-16 passing with two interceptions against the Cavaliers last week -- looks poised to start again.

Will not return Saturday Minicucci (undisclosed) will not return to the field in Saturday's game against Virginia, per Feathers and Field Goals.

Impact Minicucci suffered an injury during the second quarter, and it's significant enough to sideline him for the remainder of Saturday's game. The quarterback completed 4-of-8 passes for 24 yards and rushed for an 8-yard carry before exiting. An official report regarding the nature of his injury and timeline should surface after the game.

Throws two more TDs Minicucci went 24-for-32 for 302 yards and two touchdowns against Coastal Carolina on Saturday, and he also ran five times for 10 yards.

Impact Minicucci didn't have a good day on the road against Vanderbilt, but in his other two games he's gone over 300 passing yards with two passing TDs. That's encouraging for the bulk of the remaining schedule, but do note Delaware's next game is on the road against Virginia.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Throws TD, two INTs Minicucci went 12-for-27 for 182 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions against Vanderbilt on Saturday. He left the game with an apparent injury at one point, but returned.

Impact A tough game for Minicucci, but he both got banged up and was on the road against an SEC team. He looked good against Merrimack, though, and he threw for 23 touchdowns and had 10 rushing touchdowns last season. Things should go better against Coastal Carolina next week.

AUGUST 12 • Associated Press

Quiet in bowl win Minicucci was 19-for-30 passing for 176 yards and one touchdown during Wednesday's 20-13 win versus Louisiana. He also had six rushes for four yards.

Impact Wednesday night was a big win for Delaware, its first ever bowl victory in its first ever FBS season. Its starting quarterback didn't need to do all that much, however, tossing for one touchdown and protecting the ball. His 5.9 yards per attempt was one of his lowest on the season, but again, the Blue Hens survived without stellar quarterback play. Minicucci has one more year of eligibility remaining, and could certainly garner some eyeballs in the transfer portal if he looks for a bigger pond.

Delaware wraps up first FBS season with 61-31 rout of UTEP

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • Associated Press

Totals four TDs Minicucci went 24-for-38 for 311 yards and three touchdowns and ran 10 times for 47 yards and a touchdown against UTEP on Saturday.

Impact Technically, Delaware is now bowl eligible, but as a team new to the FBS will only play in a bowl if there is a spot left remaining. Minicucci wasn't even supposed to be the starter this year, but he took over in the opener when Zach Marker went down and he proceeded to throw over 20 touchdowns with 10 rushing scores as well. Next season Minicucci will either be the guy for Delaware, or he will be starting for another program.

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • Associated Press

Throws TD in partial action Minicucci went 21-for-30 for 140 yards and lost a fumble against Wake Forest on Saturday.

Impact Minicucci didn't play the whole game, but owing to this being a blowout and Delaware needing to win next week against UTEP for potential bowl eligibility. This was always the likely way this game was going to go, so no real reason for worry.

Battles illness, turnovers Minicucci went 24-for-36 for 338 yards one touchdown, and one interception against Sam Houston on Saturday. He ran for a touchdown, but was also sacked eight times and lost a fumbl...

Impact Minicucci played through "flu-like symptoms," but he definitely seemed to be feeling less than great. The Bearkats have a terrible defense, and Minicucci is usually fleet of foot. Getting sacked eight times and turning it over twice is pretty brutal, especially since Delaware lost in what should have been an easy win.

Playing through illness Minicucci is dealing with flu-like symptoms but is starting Saturday's game against Sam Houston, Sports of SHSU reports.

Impact Minicucci was labeled questionable on Delaware's injury report due to illness, but he's feeling well enough to start the contest. He's thrown for 300 or more yards in four of his last five games, though he's thrown four interceptions in that span.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 12 Minicucci (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Sam Houston.

Impact Minicucci is at risk of missing his first game of the season, though it's unclear exactly what is ailing the quarterback. If he misses Saturday's contest, Riley Trujillo would be in line to start.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two TDs, two INTs Minicucci went 26-for-52 for 304 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions against La Tech on Saturday. He also ran nine times for 55 yards.

Impact The interceptions aren't great, but Minicucci only has six picks on the season. That's against 17 passing touchdowns, and he's added 231 yards and eight scores on the ground.
