The Arizona Cardinals have placed quarterback Gardner Minshew on injured reserve, creating an opportunity for rookie Carson Beck to see increased playing time. The move was announced Tuesday by the team.
Minshew, who joined the Cardinals as a veteran backup, will miss a minimum of four games while on the reserve list. The transaction opens the door for Beck, a rookie signal-caller, to potentially earn significant snaps behind starter Kyler Murray.
The Cardinals' quarterback room now shifts focus to the development of their young prospect as the team navigates the remainder of the season without Minshew's experience on the active roster.
