The Cardinals selected Miami QB Carson Beck in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. A former four-star recruit, Beck started at Georgia in 2023 and 2024. He thrived in 2023 alongside Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey, throwing for 3,941 yards with 24 TDs and 6 INTs. His play slipped in 2024, with 12 INTs and an elbow injury that required surgery. Beck transferred to Miami for 2025 and rebounded, leading the Hurricanes to a national title appearance while posting 3,813 yards, 30 TDs, and 12 INTs. The efficiency profile is mixed. Among 15 Combine QBs, he tied for second in adjusted completion rate (79.0%) but ranked 12th in aDOT (7.6), 11th in Big Time Throw rate (3.3%), and 14th in rushing production. At 23, Beck enters the league as a polished pocket passer without much rushing upside.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that QB Jacoby Brissett is skipping "Phase 1" of the Cardinals' offseason program while seeking a new contract.

The Cardinals are signing QB Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal, according to multiple reports. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero says it's a $5.75 million pact that could be worth as much as $8 million.

The Cardinals will release QB Kyler Murray when the new league year starts on Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's barring a trade happening before now and then -- which won't. Arizona owes Murray $36.8 million guaranteed in 2026, and another $19.5 million for 2017 would have triggered on March 15 if Murray was still on the roster. So this move has been expected for a while.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray will not return this season, according to HC Jonathan Gannon. Gannon commented that Murray isn’t progressing as the team hoped and thus will not be available at all this season. Murray suffered a mid-foot injury in Week 5 and was placed on IR on November 5th. Jacoby Brissett will QB the team for the rest of the season.

Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon said Monday that QB Kyler Murray (foot) will not be designated to return from IR and practice this week. So he's out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. QB Jacoby Brissett will make his eighth straight start in that one. He's finished as a top-12 fantasy QB in each of his first seven starts of the season. Sunday will be his toughest test yet against the Rams' sixth-ranked QB defense.

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett threw for 301 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 INT in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. He added 16 yards on three rushes. Brissett enters the Sunday night game as the QB8 for Week by ESPN scoring.

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed an NFL-record 47 passes in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Brissett attempted 57 throws in the lopsided defeat, logging 32 of those in the second half. His team didn't fall quite as hopelessly behind San Francisco as it did Seattle the week before. But the Niners did score the first 13 points of the game and lead 25-10 at the half. Brissett went 20-of-25 passing before the break. He finished with 452 yards, 2 TDs, and 2 INTs. Brissett sits third among fantasy QBs for the week ahead of Monday night's game.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison underwent surgery for appendicitis and will be out for Sunday's game against the 49ers and potentially longer, according to both NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll look for a more concrete target for Harrison's return, but he's worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues for now.

QB Jacoby Brissett endured easily his roughest outing Sunday since taking over for the injured Kyler Murray. He took five sacks in the loss to the Seahawks and lost a pair of fumbles that each got returned for TDs (both by Edge Demarcus Lawrence). Brissett completed just half of his 44 pass attempts for an offense that didn't score until it already trailed 35-0, and even then thanks to Sam Darnold turning the ball over at his own 2-yard line. But Brissett still managed 258 yards and 2 TDs passing, plus another 31 yards on four rushing attempts. He heads into Monday night with the ninth-best fantasy total among QBs for the week, according to ESPN scoring.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray was placed on Injured Reserve with his mid-foot sprain. Murray appeared close to returning last week, but was inactive in Week 9. QB Jacoby Brissett was announced as the starter for Week 10, but he steps in for the next four games as the Cardinals starting QB.

Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon announced Tuesday that he'll start QB Jacoby Brissett on Sunday at Seattle. But he stopped short of extending the decision beyond this week.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Cowboys. QB Jacoby Brissett makes his third straight start. He played reasonably well in his first two and gets a cushy matchup in this one against a defense supplying a 47.6% boost to QB fantasy production.

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett will start Monday night's game vs. the Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. QB Kyler Murray, who has been limited in practice this week, is "making progress" in his recovery from his sprained foot and "could have a role" against Dallas. We hear about teams potentially playing two QBs every so often -- and it rarely actually happens. We're projecting Brissett to play every snap in this cushy matchup, making him a strong QB2 and even a low-end spot-starter in 1-QB leagues. The news doesn't tangibly impact either WR Marvin Harrison Jr. or TE Trey McBride. Both guys are strong Week 9 starts.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) was on the field for the start of Friday's practice, but QB Jacoby Brissett was throwing to the first-team WRs, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. HC Johnathan Gannon expressed optimism about Murray's Week 9 status on Thursday morning, but Murray was limited in practice later that day. It's now looking like Brissett will get another start on Monday night vs. Dallas. Brissett played well in two starts prior to the Cardinals' bye, throwing for 599 yards, four TDs, and one INT on 7.5 yards per attempt. He's at least a strong QB2 in this dream matchup against the Cowboys and could even be a serviceable QB1 spot starter.
