Gardner Minshew Likely Headed for Season-Ending Elbow Surgery, Reports Say
On Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback Gardner Minshew is feared to have sustained a torn UCL in his right elbow during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, likely requiring season-ending surgery.
Arizona recently traded 33-year-old quarterback Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens after benching him for Minshew earlier this month following a Week 8 overtime win against the Dallas Cowboys.
During Sunday's loss, Minshew completed 21-of-30 passes for 166 yards and zero touchdowns while taking three sacks; Schefter noted he is seeking additional medical opinions to confirm the surgery.
With the Cardinals now out of veteran options, 24-year-old rookie Carson Beck looks to be their new QB1, as the offense faces challenges missing both RB1 Jeremiyah Love and WR1 Michael Wilson due to injuries.
Fans have taken to social media to question the team's decision to trade Brissett, suggesting Arizona might regret the move as they move forward with limited veteran options at quarterback.
