Cardinals place QB Gardner Minshew on injured reserve, opening the door for rookie Carson Beck

The Arizona Cardinals have placed quarterback Gardner Minshew on injured reserve due to an elbow injury, creating an opportunity for rookie Carson Beck to potentially start. Minshew's injury opened the door for Beck, who performed well in the preseason but hasn't played in a regular season game yet. The Cardinals also placed receiver Michael Wilson on injured reserve due to a neck injury.

Minshew and Wilson sustained their injuries during the Cardinals' 17-3 defeat against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Minshew completed 21 of 30 passes for 166 yards in that game following the trade of Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens. The Cardinals are now relying on Beck, a third-round pick from Miami who guided the Hurricanes to the title game in his senior year.

To cap off the week, the Cardinals announced the signing of 40-year-old quarterback Josh Johnson from the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad. The team aims to break its 10-game home losing streak when they host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
