Arizona Cardinals quarterback situation

Overview

The Arizona Cardinals are currently evaluating the timeline for rookie quarterback Carson Beck to assume a starting role. As of mid-October, the team holds a 1-4 record and continues to rely on veteran Jacoby Brissett, with Beck positioned as the third option on the depth chart.

By late October, following a 30-16 loss to the Denver Broncos that brought the team's record to 2-5, head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed that Brissett would remain the starter for Week 8. LaFleur defended the decision by noting the team's ability to move the ball, despite struggles to score in the red zone.

During this period, Beck's path to playing time has been complicated by injuries, including a preseason rib injury and a recent back injury, leading to ongoing speculation regarding the team's long-term quarterback strategy.
