Story summary

Carson Beck, a rookie quarterback drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, will start for the team this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams after head coach Mike LaFleur announced that Gardner Minshew II is out for the season with an ulnar ligament injury. Beck had been the third-string quarterback until last week when Jacoby Brissett was traded to the Baltimore Ravens, and he will now step up as a starter just 11 days after being named Minshew's backup. Despite limited preseason action due to injuries, Beck impressed in August with 15 completions out of 19 attempts for 188 yards and one touchdown in the Hall of Fame Game against the Carolina Panthers. Coach LaFleur expressed confidence in Beck's readiness based on his college experience at Georgia and Miami, noting his maturity and preparation during training camp.
