Carson Beck Not Expected to Play Against Cowboys

Thursday, August 20, 4:30 PM

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Carson Beck (ribs) is not expected to play in the second preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. Beck suffered a rib injury during the Hall of Fame game in early August. The injury was deemed not serious, but he will miss his second preseason game this season. Beck showed promise in that game against the Carolina Panthers, completing 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown. With Beck unlikely to be available and starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett sitting with most of the starters, veteran Gardner Minshew will start on Saturday. The third-round pick hopes to return next week in their final preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.

Ty Simpson - Los Angeles (QB)

Ty Simpson Efficient Once Again in Preseason Action

Saturday, August 22, 6:36 PM

Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback Ty Simpson completed 8 of 12 passes for 73 yards in the Rams' 34-0 preseason blowout of the New Orleans Saints. Simpson has been mistake-free in both preseason games, completing 29 of 37 passes for 263 yards and two touchdowns. Head coach Sean McVay said, "I thought Ty did a good job being efficient in the second half." The 13th overall pick is expected to sit behind former MVP Matthew Stafford in 2026 and develop before becoming the quarterback of the future after Stafford retires. Currently ranked QB38 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Simpson is unlikely to be a key fantasy contributor unless Stafford is injured this season.
