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.
