Who Should I Start? Gardner Minshew II or Bo Nix

Sunday, November 15, 4:38 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew (elbow) suffered a torn UCL in Week 9 and will undergo season-ending surgery, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The 30-year-old played through the UCL tear last week, but will ultimately be shut down for the rest of the year. He played in parts of just two games this season after taking over for Jacoby Brissett in Week 8. Through his two games (one start), Minshew completed 38 of 53 pass attempts for 354 passing yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers. With Minshew out for the year and Brissett traded, the Cardinals will now turn to rookie third-string quarterback Carson Beck. Beck will make his NFL debut Sunday in Week 10, and he'll do so with a very limited supporting cast; running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is sidelined, while wide receivers Michael Wilson (neck) and Kendrick Bourne (ankle) are done for the season. Minshew will join Wilson and Bourne on injured reserve, marking an end to his Cardinals tenure as he prepares to hit free agency in March 2027.
