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.

Cardinals' Gardner Minshew: Leads Cards to comeback win
Minshew completed 17 of 23 passes for 188 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions after he replaced starting QB Jacoby Brissett late in the third quarter of Sunday's 33-30 overtime win in Dallas.
When Minshew took over the Cardinals offense with 1:35 remaining in the third quarter, the team was trailing 17-3, and he proceeded to direct four consecutive TD drives to force overtime, which ended (in order) with a 63-yard run via RB Tyler Allgeier, a five-yard catch from Allgeier, a 14-yard connection with TE Trey McBride and a 13-yard reception from WR Michael Wilson. All three players were the top remaining options at their positions at the time, and Minshew ended up out-producing Brissett by 69 passing yards in roughly two fewer quarters of play. Afterward, head coach Mike LaFleur told Darren Urban of the team's official site that he won't commit to a starting QB for next Sunday's game at Seattle just yet, but it won't surprise if a change under center is imminent in Arizona.

Cardinals' Gardner Minshew: Tosses touchdown in preseason finale
Minshew completed seven of nine passes for 126 yards and a touchdown while taking a 10-yard sack during the Cardinals' 42-38 preseason loss to the Packers on Friday.
Minshew was named the Cardinals' starter for Friday's preseason finale while Jacoby Brissett and Carson Beck (ribs) observed the game from the sidelines. Minshew was under center for Arizona's first two offensive series and led scoring drives on both, with the second ending with a 41-yard touchdown pass to Simi Fehoko. Brissett figures to be the Cardinals' starter for at least the beginning of the 2026 regular season, but it's not clear who will be the backup between Minshew and Beck.
