Cardinals QB Carson Beck unlikely to start in Week 1
Summary

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Beck is not expected to start in Week 1. With Jacoby Brissett dealing with a contract dispute and Gardner Minshew II as a backup, Beck’s chances appear slim. Insider Albert Breer indicates that while Brissett and Minshew are more experienced, Beck may get opportunities later in the season as the coaching staff assesses the quarterback position. Coach Mike LaFleur has expressed a desire for Beck to have time to develop before starting, but a few starts could come as the season progresses.
