Miami Star Beck Gets Cardinals QB Start
12 Nov
Summary
- Carson Beck named Cardinals starting QB after Minshew's injury.
- Rookie quarterback to make first regular-season NFL start Sunday.
- Beck takes over after Minshew's season-ending arm injury.
Carson Beck, a former Miami Hurricanes standout, is set to make his NFL debut as the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday. The promotion comes after veteran quarterback Gardner Minshew sustained a season-ending arm injury during the team's recent game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Minshew, who had recently taken over as the starter, was injured in the first half by a hit from Seahawks linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. Despite attempting to play through the injury, it ultimately proved too severe, leading to his placement on injured reserve. This shift elevates Beck, Arizona's third-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, to the starting position.
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur expressed confidence that the offense would not require significant adjustments with Beck at the helm, noting similarities in the players' preferred offensive schemes. The team has also added veteran Josh Johnson and rookie Joey Aguilar to bolster the quarterback depth. However, Beck will be without one of his key receiving targets, as receiver Michael Wilson has also been placed on injured reserve due to a neck injury.
