Beck will be Arizona's third starting quarterback this season when the Cardinals face the Rams on Sunday.
Carson Beck is getting his shot. The Cardinals rookie quarterback will make his first career start on Sunday against the Rams, becoming the team's third starter this season after Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew.
Beck addressed reporters on Wednesday and said he is "super excited" for his regular-season debut. He described a season that has moved fast for him, from being the emergency quarterback at the start of the year to backup last week to now the starter. "It's really been a welcome to the NFL season, just getting introduced to what the league is and what it can be, but I'm super excited for the opportunity and to have the chance to go play with these guys," Beck said, according to a team transcript.
Beck noted he has learned plenty from watching the quarterbacks ahead of him this season, a crash course that now gets put to the test under live fire. The Cardinals' carousel at the position has been a theme all year, and Sunday marks the next chapter as a rookie steps into the lineup against the Rams.
