Get ready for some serious QB drama: The Arizona Cardinals are trotting out their third starting quarterback in three preseason games this Saturday against the Cowboys. Seriously, what is going on there already?

Minshew Up, Beck Down

Head coach Mike LaFleur announced Thursday that Gardner Minshew is getting the start against Dallas. Rookie Carson Beck kicked off the Hall of Fame Game, with Jacoby Brissett starting last week. Beck got sidelined with a ribs injury in the opener and missed their second preseason game. LaFleur said Beck is expected to throw Thursday and isn’t ruled out for this week, but he’s unlikely to play. What a start to the season for their QB room!

Rookie Love on the Mend

It’s not just the signal-callers dealing with issues either. LaFleur did confirm some other starters will play this Saturday. But a big blow: first-round running back Jeremiyah Love won’t be among them. He’s recovering from an ankle injury already. You never want to see a key rookie sidelined this early.

So, all eyes on Minshew this Saturday. Can he bring any calm to this early chaos, or is this just the beginning of more twists and turns for the Cardinals?
