Cardinals QB Beck Returns to Practice After Injury
1 Sep
Summary
- Carson Beck is back at Cardinals practice after a rib injury.
- Beck will not go on injured reserve, remaining on active roster.
- Week 12 against the Commanders is the projected debut for Beck.
The Arizona Cardinals are preparing for their season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, with head coach Mike LaFleur providing an optimistic update on rookie quarterback Carson Beck. Beck has returned to practice on Monday afternoon, a significant development that ensures he will not be placed on injured reserve and will remain on the active roster.
Beck, who suffered a rib injury during the preseason, missed subsequent games as a precaution. While veteran Jacoby Brissett is set to start, the team is looking at potential opportunities for Beck. The earliest projected start for the 24-year-old quarterback is Week 12 in a home game against the Washington Commanders, followed by a challenging stretch that includes games against the Philadelphia Eagles and several winnable matchups to end the season.
The Cardinals aim to develop Beck strategically, avoiding throwing him into difficult matchups early in the season, such as games against the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. The team is focused on his long-term growth, with his return to practice signaling a positive step forward for the young quarterback.
