Both players landed on injured reserve Tuesday, pushing rookie Carson Beck into his first NFL start against the Rams.
The Arizona Cardinals placed quarterback Gardner Minshew II and wide receiver Michael Wilson on injured reserve Tuesday, with the team announcing the move and reports indicating neither player is expected to play again this season.
Minshew was hurt on the final play of the first half during Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, when linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. hit his throwing arm and forced a fumble. Minshew grabbed his arm but stayed in the game, finishing the second half and completing 21 of 30 passes for 166 yards. The injury ends his run as starter after just one game in that role, having taken over for a benched Jacoby Brissett in Week 8 and rallying Arizona to a come-from-behind win.
With Minshew and Wilson both done for the year, the Cardinals are turning to rookie Carson Beck, who is now in line to make his first NFL start when Arizona hosts the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. It caps a rough stretch for a team that had briefly found some stability at quarterback before losing that option entirely.
