Cardinals QB Gardner Minshew could miss the remainder of the season, giving Carson Beck a shot image
The Arizona Cardinals fell hard to the Seattle Seahawks in their Sunday game, 17-3, but the loss wasn't the worst part of the game for Arizona. During the game, Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew hurt his right arm. Even though the injury happened late in the first half, he stuck it out for the entire second half and tried to get his team to a win.
Now, not only is his status for the Cardinals' Week 10 game against the Los Angeles Rams in question, but according to a report from the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, he could be out for longer, potentially the rest of the season.
According to Rapoport, the worry is that the signal-caller has potentially torn the UCL in his throwing elbow. That would require months of rehab to fix and take him out for the rest of the season.
Gardner Minshew's injury could force Cardinals to turn to Carson Beck
According to NBC Sports, Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said during a Monday press conference that Minshew is having tests done on his arm and that he may not be able to take the field this week.
If he's out for the Rams game or longer, that would make Carson Beck the starting quarterback because the Cardinals traded Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens. Beck hasn't played in any games so far this season, so that's quite a jump for the young quarterback.
Also on Monday, LaFleur said that wide receiver Michael Wilson is gone for the entire year with a neck injury and that center Hjalte Froholdt is in the concussion protocol, so it was a bevy of tough news.
