- On Tuesday, the Arizona Cardinals placed quarterback Gardner Minshew on injured reserve after he tore the UCL in his elbow, ending his season and clearing the way for rookie Carson Beck to make his first NFL start.

- Hosting the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday, the Cardinals seek to snap a 10-game home losing streak with Beck, a 24-year-old third-round pick from Miami, leading the offense for the first time.
