{"id":2271,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/2271","headline":"Cardinals lose Minshew and Wilson for season, turn to rookie QB","dek":"Both players landed on injured reserve Tuesday, pushing rookie Carson Beck into his first NFL start against the Rams.","body":"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.\n\nMinshew 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.\n\nWith 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.","published_at":"2026-11-12T00:33:00.666659+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cardinals officially move Michael Wilson, Gardner Minshew to IR with season-ending injuries","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cardinals-officially-move-michael-wilson-003818045.html"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Carson Beck In Line For First NFL Start As Cardinals Place Gardner Minshew On IR","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/carson-beck-line-first-nfl-start-cardinals-place-gardner-minshew-ir"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Cardinals place QB Gardner Minshew and WR Michael Wilson on IR","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/cardinals-place-qb-gardner-minshew-and-wr-michael-wilson-on-ir"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Gardner Minshew injury update: Cardinals prepare for worst, sign veteran QB","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/gardner-minshew-injury-cardinals-prepare-015938184.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Arizona Cardinals Week 9 offensive snap counts, observations vs. Seahawks","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/arizona-cardinals-week-9-offensive-021616294.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Arizona Cardinals QB Gardner Minshew has potentially season-ending injury","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/arizona-cardinals-qb-gardner-minshew-030950099.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Fantasy Football Injury Alert: Carson Beck Becomes Superflex Waiver Priority as Gardner Minshew Could Miss Season","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fantasy-football-injury-alert-carson-033659119.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cardinals add Gardner Minshew to IR, reportedly fear he has torn UCL that would be season-ending","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-news/article/cardinals-add-gardner-minshew-to-ir-reportedly-fear-he-has-torn-ucl-that-would-be-season-ending-222123630.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cardinals place QB Gardner Minshew and WR Michael Wilson on IR","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cardinals-place-qb-gardner-minshew-223229663.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cardinals place QB Gardner Minshew on injured reserve, opening the door for rookie Carson Beck","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cardinals-place-qb-gardner-minshew-223915199.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cardinals Make Difficult Decisions on 2 Players After NFL Trade Deadline","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cardinals-difficult-decisions-2-players-140036028.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL power rankings: Arizona Cardinals fall 4 spots after Week 9","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-power-rankings-arizona-cardinals-191417157.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cardinals to start rookie QB Carson Beck vs. Rams following Gardner Minshew injury, Jacoby Brissett trade","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-news/article/cardinals-to-start-rookie-qb-carson-beck-vs-rams-following-gardner-minshew-injury-jacoby-brissett-trade-203135681.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cardinals make Carson Beck decision official for Week 10 after Gardner Minshew injury","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cardinals-carson-beck-decision-official-204553894.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cardinals Reveal Final Decision on Carson Beck’s Week 10 Status","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cardinals-reveal-final-decision-carson-235421673.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"A third-string QB just 11 days ago, Cardinals' Carson Beck prepares for his first NFL start","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/third-string-qb-just-11-001716237.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/9e945f3/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F131%2F75%2Fnbc_pft_minshew_261110.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
