Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Beck could be thrust into his first NFL start as the team deals with a growing list of injuries at the position. The rookie signal-caller, wearing number 19, was photographed warming up before the Cardinals' September 20 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks at State Farm Stadium in Glendale.
Beck, who has served as a backup through the early portion of the 2026 season, may see his role expand significantly if the Cardinals' quarterback room continues to be depleted. The team's coaching staff has not officially named a starter for the upcoming week, but Beck's increased practice repetitions suggest he is being prepared for the possibility.
The Cardinals host the Seahawks in what marks a critical juncture for Arizona's offense. With limited game experience at the professional level, Beck would face a Seattle defense that has shown vulnerability against mobile quarterbacks this season.
