Gardner Minshew II News

Gardner Minshew II Placed on Injured Reserve

Tuesday, November 10, 12:20 PM

The Arizona Cardinals placed veteran quarterback Gardner Minshew II (elbow) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to Darren Urban of the team's official website. Minshew has not officially been ruled out for the rest of the 2026 season, but the Cardinals fear that he suffered a torn UCL in his right elbow in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. The Cardinals recently traded former starting QB Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens, so things are lining up for rookie Carson Beck to make his NFL debut in a starting role in a Week 10 divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. At the very least, the 30-year-old Minshew will miss at least the next four games after being placed on IR. In just two games played for the Cardinals (one start), Minshew went 38-for-53 passing for 354 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. Although he went 21-for-30 on Sunday in Seattle, he threw for only 166 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Even if Minshew can somehow return later this season, he would most likely return to a backup role behind Beck as Arizona assesses their future at the position.

Joe Burrow News

Joe Burrow Ready To Take On AFC North Rivals In Week 10

Friday, November 13, 12:54 PM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at home this Sunday night. Burrow and the Bengals have been on quite the heater over the past month, rattling off four straight wins and scoring over 30 points in every game. The superstar quarterback has been especially hot as he's thrown 16 touchdowns and passed for 1,215 yards in that span, averaging four passing touchdowns and over 303 passing yards a game. Burrow will now face a tough Steelers defense as the teams battle it out for first place in the AFC North division. The Pittsburgh defense features a fierce pass rush and a solid secondary, but Burrow has been playing too well to even think about sitting him this week. Burrow is ranked QB3 in our RotoBaller Week 10 rankings, making him a must-start option at the position this Sunday night.
