The move comes after the 30-year-old delivered a nearly flawless Week 8 performance that keyed a comeback win over the Cowboys in overtime.\n\nCoaches reportedly had little choice but to make the change after watching Minshew's outing. He'll get the start beginning Sunday when Arizona travels to face Seattle.\n\nThere's no word yet on how long Minshew holds the job or what happens once the previous starter is healthy or available again, but for now the Cardinals are moving forward with him under center. The performance against Dallas, capped by the overtime rally, was enough to settle the question of who leads the offense going forward.","published_at":"2026-11-02T23:20:46.962309+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Minshew, fresh off OT rally, named Cardinals new QB1","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50361163/cardinals-move-forward-gardner-minshew-starting-qb"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Gardner Minshew to take over starting job","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/gardner-minshew-over-starting-job-214155100.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Cardinals will start Gardner Minshew after stunning comeback win over Cowboys","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7748677/2026/11/02/gardner-minshew-cardinals-starting-quarterback/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Cardinals To Start Gardner Minshew vs. Seahawks; Rookie Carson Beck To Be Backup","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/cardinals-start-gardner-minshew-vs-seahawks-rookie-carson-beck-backup"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Cardinals name Gardner Minshew starter after Jacoby Brissett benching","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/02/sports/cardinals-name-gardner-minshew-starter-after-jacoby-brissett-benching/"}],"image":{"url":"https://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2026%2F1101%2Fr1739737_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg","credit":"ESPN","width":1296},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
