Well, the Arizona Cardinals got a little over six quarters of Minshew Mania, then reality slapped them in the face.
Technically it slapped them in the right arm on one of Minshew’s dropbacks in the Arizona Cardinasl 17-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Gardner Minshew is reported to have torn his UCL, he somehow toughed out the rest of the game, and now he will likely be headed to the injured reserve.
The play he was hurt on is especially frustrating because it seems like the Cardinals should have probably taken a knee and just gone into the half. Instead they were trying to sneak out a field goal before the half.
That means the Arizona Cardinals need a new quarterback, what is new… and they are bringing in 40-year old Josh Johnson per reports.
Johnson played in five games, starting two with the Washington Commanders in 2025, going 1-1.
He has started 11 games in his NFL career, and has been on rosters since 2009. He was with Mike LaFleur in 2021 and Nathaniel Hackett in 2022.
Welcome to the desert, Josh and good luck.
