Big news just dropped for the Arizona Cardinals faithful, and it’s not the kind you wanna hear right before a preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. Quarterback Carson Beck, who’s been sidelined with a rib injury from early in training camp, is “most likely” not going to play this Saturday. Head coach Mike LaFleur broke the news to reporters, confirming that it’s Gardner Minshew who’ll be getting the start.
The Rib Injury Keeping Beck Sidelined
LaFleur confirmed Beck suffered that rib injury earlier in training camp, and it’s kept him off the field. While it’s a tough break, especially for Beck needing those reps, the team isn’t rushing it. LaFleur did note that Beck’s set to throw after Thursday’s practice. That’ll be key for the Cardinals to figure out his recovery timeline and where he’s actually at. They’re taking a cautious approach, and honestly, you gotta respect that in the preseason.
Minshew Takes The Reins Against Dallas
With Beck “most likely” out, and Jacoby Brissett also confirmed not to play, it’s Minshew Mania for the Cardinals against Dallas. Gardner Minshew, yeah, *that* Gardner Minshew, gets the nod to start the preseason contest. All eyes will be on Saturday’s game to see how Minshew handles the offense and leads the squad out there. It’s a prime chance for him to get significant snaps and show what he’s got under center. Fans will be looking for any signs of what he can bring to the offense.
