Mike LaFleur on Carson Beck: We have all confidence he's ready to roll

As expected, Cardinals rookie Carson Beck will make his first start at quarterback on Sunday against the Rams after Gardner Minshew suffered an elbow injury that requires surgery last week.

Cardinals rookie Carson Beck is set to start at quarterback for the team against the Rams this Sunday, following Gardner Minshew's elbow injury which necessitated surgery last week. During a press conference on Wednesday, head coach Mike LaFleur expressed his excitement for Beck's opportunity to take the field and urged him to simply play the offense and each play as if it were in practice.

LaFleur emphasized the need for Beck to focus on his usual approach during the game. Despite not having made a regular-season appearance yet, Beck made an impressive preseason debut in the Hall of Fame game back in August before his rib injury sidelined him. LaFleur stated that while it's impossible to predict the outcome until Sunday, he has full confidence in Beck's readiness to perform on game day.
