Carson Beck ruled out of preseason game vs. Raiders with injury
Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Carson Beck was the star of last week's Hall of Fame game, but will miss the Cardinals' second preseason game.
Las Vegas — Carson Beck, who shone during last week's Hall of Fame Game, will sit out Arizona Cardinals' preseason matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, August 13, according to NFL Network. The third-round rookie is out with a rib injury sustained during the teams' preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers. Despite finishing that game, completing 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown, Beck's injury is not considered serious.
He practiced throughout the week and participated in 11-on-11 drills without any limitations as the Cardinals concluded training camp. However, due to the absence of tackling in practice, the team is holding him out as a precaution. Head coach Mike LaFleur has already announced that starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett will take the field against the Raiders.
Should Beck have been the third-string quarterback behind Brissett and rookie backup Gardner Minshew, his performance against the Panthers might have provided him with opportunities to play with the second team. Now, that chance will have to wait until the Cardinals face the Dallas Cowboys in their lone preseason home game on August 22.
