Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew’s first start of the season may also be his last.
Minshew will likely need season-ending elbow surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament, according to ESPN.
Nothing is official as Minshew is seeking additional medical opinions.
Minshew took a hit at the end of the second quarter on Sunday and appeared to have hurt his elbow, but he was back for the start of the third quarter, and he played every offensive snap for the Cardinals.
The Cardinals just traded Jacoby Brissett, who had started every game this season until Minshew started on Sunday, and now the only healthy quarterback on their roster is rookie third-round pick Carson Beck. The Cardinals will need to add at least one more quarterback to the roster this week before Sunday’s game against the Rams.
