  • Cardinals' Gardner Minshew: Will miss rest of season

    Minshew (elbow) will undergo UCL surgery and is out for the season, Theo Mackie of AzCentral reports.

    With Minshew already on injured reserve, the surgery confirms he won't return for Arizona this season. Carson Beck is now Arizona's starting QB for Week 11 against the Rams and beyond.

  • Cardinals' Gardner Minshew: Placed on IR

    The Cardinals placed Minshew (elbow) on injured reserve Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    While the Cardinals have yet to confirm that Minshew sustained a torn UCL in his throwing elbow during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that the veteran signal-caller is unlikely to play again this season. With Minshew out of commission, rookie third-round pick Carson Beck will step in as the Cardinals' new starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game against the Rams. Across two appearances (one start) with Arizona before sustaining the elbow injury, Minshew completed 38 of 53 passes for 354 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding four yards on his lone carry.

  • Cardinals' Gardner Minshew: Could face season-ending elbow surgery

    Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Minshew (elbow) is reportedly seeking additional medical opinions to confirm that he likely will require season-ending surgery to address a torn UCL.

    Minshew's stint as the Cardinals' starting QB is thus shaping up to be a brief one. Assuming Schefter's report is confirmed, Carson Beck would be slated to take over as Arizona's QB1, beginning with this Sunday's game against the Rams.

  • Cardinals' Gardner Minshew: Set to undergo testing on arm/elbow

    Minshew is slated undergo testing on his right elbow/arm in the wake of Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site.

    Minshew took over as the team's starting QB in advance of Week 9 action, and now his status for this weekend's game against the Rams is unclear. In the event that Minshew's issue ends up being long-term, which could be a possibility per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com, Carson Beck would be next in line for Arizona's signal-caller reps.

  • Cardinals' Gardner Minshew: Sparse output in first Arizona start

    Minshew was 21-for-30 passing for 166 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions and had a four-yard carry during Sunday's 17-3 defeat in Seattle.

    Minshew was unable to recreate his magic from last Sunday's cameo in Dallas in which he put together four straight TD drives for the benched Jacoby Brissett to force overtime in an eventual 33-30 win. The series of events led head coach Mike LaFleur to announce Minshew as the Cardinals' new starting QB, before the team finalized a trade to send Brissett to the Ravens. Minshew likely will be given some leash to help the offense generate more consistent results, but 2026 third-round pick Carson Beck is waiting in the wings in the event LaFleur opts to move on to the rookie.

  • Cardinals' Gardner Minshew: Taking over as starting quarterback

    Head coach Mike LaFleur announced that Minshew will step in as the Cardinals' new starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game at Seattle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Unsurprisingly, the Cardinals have opted to appoint Minshew to the top spot on the depth chart after he came on in relief of a struggling Jacoby Brissett and led a stirring comeback in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Cowboys. In what was his first appearance of the season, Minshew completed 17 of 23 pass attempts for 188 yards and three touchdowns in just under two quarters' worth of action before Chad Ryland sealed the victory with a walk-off 42-yard field goal. Though his performance in future games will ultimately dictate how long he sticks around as the Cardinals' starter, Minshew is far from a lock to hold down the job for the balance of the season. If the 3-5 Cardinals eventually fade from playoff contention, LaFleur may want to give an extended look to rookie third-round pick Carson Beck, who will serve as Minshew's top backup in Week 9 while Brissett falls to third on the depth chart, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site.
