It was a tough blow for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew, and he’s probably out for the season. And that means Carson Beck will have a challenging debut. To back him up, the Cardinals signed a journeyman quarterback, according to a post on X by Adam Schefter.
“With veteran QB Gardner Minshew sidelined due to a UCL injury, the Cardinals are signing QB Josh Johnson off the Bengals’ practice squad, per sources. The Cardinals will be Johnson’s 15th NFL team in 14 NFL seasons.”
Who else? Johnson is the guy who never seems to go away. He always seems to be waiting for that next opportunity.
What do the Cardinals expect from Carson Beck?
Beck got selected by the Cardinals in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He finished his college career at Miami after two seasons with Georgia. He helped Miami reach the national championship game before losing to Fernando Mendoza and Indiana. However, Beck will make his NFL debut before Mendoza.
