Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew is feared to have torn the UCL in his throwing elbow Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Minshew is undergoing additional tests, Rapoport reports. The passer suffered the injury to his right elbow just before halftime but finished the game.
The 30-year-old was making his first start of the season after leading the Cardinals to a comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys. Minshew replaced Jacoby Brissett midway through the 33-30 overtime victory against Dallas, completing 17 of 23 passes for 188 yards and three touchdowns.
Carson Beck, selected in the third round of the 2026 draft out of Miami, is in line to become Arizona's starting quarterback. The Cardinals traded Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens last week after benching him.
Beck led the Hurricanes to the national championship game during the 2025 season but lost to Indiana. He led the ACC in completions with 338, throwing for 3,813 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
The Cardinals fell to 3-6 after their 17-3 loss to the Seahawks and sit last in the NFC West.
