Cardinals Announce Starting Quarterback for Hall of Fame Game

Carson Beck will start for the Arizona Cardinals in Thursday night's Hall of Fame game against the Carolina Panthers.

The Arizona Cardinals have announced that rookie quarterback Carson Beck will start in this Thursday night's Hall of Fame game against the Carolina Panthers. Beck, drafted in the third round, is the team's third-string quarterback, with Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew serving as his backups, neither of whom are expected to play.

Head coach Mike LaFleur expressed high regard for Beck's performance, describing his accuracy as "on point" and noting that his play aligns with the team's expected execution. Beck, 23, previously played for the Georgia Bulldogs and Miami before transferring for his final season. During his time with Miami, he led the team to the College Football Playoff national championship game, which they lost to Indiana. The Hall of Fame game is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET from Canton, Ohio.
