Carson Beck sidelined for Cardinals preseason game against Raiders
Summary

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Beck will miss the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders on August 13 due to a rib injury sustained in the Hall of Fame Game. Although the injury is not considered serious, the team has opted to rest him as a precaution. Beck's absence eliminates a highly anticipated matchup against fellow rookie Fernando Mendoza, who is making his NFL debut. Veteran Jacoby Brissett has been named the starter for this game. Beck's next chance to return is expected to be against the Dallas Cowboys in the Cardinals' third preseason game on August 22.
