Gardner Minshew will start at quarterback for the Cardinals on Saturday against the Cowboys in their preseason game. Head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed the decision, noting it will mark the third different starter for the team in as many preseason games. Rookie Carson Beck, who started the Hall of Fame Game, is dealing with a rib injury and is unlikely to play, while Jacoby Brissett started last week. Some starters will participate in the game, but running back Jeremiyah Love is recovering from an ankle injury and will sit out.
