Gardner Minshew II News
Friday, August 14, 12:13 AM
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew II took the reins from starter Jacoby Brissett after the team's first drive in Thursday's preseason matchup against the Raiders. The veteran backup had his way with Las Vegas' reserve defenders, going 14-for-16 for 101 passing yards and two touchdowns in the 27-14 win. Minshew took one sack and was hit with a grounding penalty, but otherwise played mistake-free football before being replaced partway through the third quarter by Kedon Slovis. With Brissett expected to be Arizona's starting quarterback when the regular season opens, Minshew's solid performance helped secure his place as second on the depth chart after Carson Beck's (ribs) strong showing in last week's Hall of Fame Game. Minshew's next chance to demonstrate his worth will come on August 22 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Adrian Martinez News
Saturday, September 13, 6:18 PM
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Adrian Martinez has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Martinez was signed to the 49ers practice squad after failing to make the New York Jets initial 53-man roster. He wasn't expected to be anything more than a third or fourth string depth option. However, the 49ers are going to be without Brock Purdy (shoulder) and Kurtis Rourke (knee) for Sunday's game. That being said, Martinez will head to the active roster and be the backup to Mac Jones. There isn't fantasy value here with Martinez right now, but he's a name to watch if something happens to Jones.
