Cardinals will discuss making Carson Beck active on game day

The Arizona Cardinals, mired in a 2-15 record under Jacoby Brissett over the past two seasons, face a stark reality: their starting quarterback has led them to a combined point differential of -194. Despite the struggles, Brissett remains the starter for now, with coach Mike LaFleur acknowledging the team’s inability to sustain momentum.

The Cardinals’ recent 45-21 loss to the Detroit Lions—where Brissett played all 351 snaps—highlighted the depth challenge, as rookie quarterback Carson Beck has been kept inactive unless both Brissett and Gardner Minshew are injured. With the team set to face the Los Angeles Rams, LaFleur has signaled a potential shift in strategy, hinting at discussions to activate Beck on game day.

The move would mirror recent trends in the NFL, where teams like the Oakland Raiders have given rookie quarterbacks limited snaps to evaluate their readiness. The Cardinals’ decision, expected to be finalized Tuesday, could mark a turning point in their search for stability at the position.
