Carson Beck In Line For First NFL Start As Cardinals Place Gardner Minshew On IR

Rookie Carson Beck — who hasn’t taken a regular-season snap — is set to make his first NFL start Sunday after Gardner Minshew and WR Michael Wilson were placed on injured reserve.
Arizona quickly added veteran QB Josh Johnson (age 40) off the Bengals’ practice squad for depth — it’ll be his 15th NFL team.
The Cardinals’ receiving corps is depleted (Wilson out for the year, Marvin Harrison Jr. was traded earlier), leaving a thinner offense as they host the Rams.
