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.

Malik Willis News

Malik Willis Expected to Land on Injured Reserve

Tuesday, November 10, 11:08 AM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis (groin) is expected to go on injured reserve, according to Tom Pelissero, who reported that an MRI showed his groin injury had developed into a core muscle injury. Willis needs rest and could still return this season, Pelissero reported. If Miami makes the move this week, Willis would miss at least four games and first be eligible to return against Chicago in Week 14. Willis practiced in full Friday before completing 13 of 25 passes for 128 yards with an interception in Sunday's loss to Detroit. Head coach Jeff Hafley said Monday that Willis lacked his usual speed when escaping pressure. Willis has run for nine yards on three carries over his past two games after rushing for 37 yards and a touchdown against the Jets in Week 7. Kyle McCord is Miami's only other quarterback on the active roster and would be in line to start Sunday at Indianapolis. McCord has yet to attempt a regular-season pass this year, and Brady Cook is on the practice squad.
