Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said he did not consider benching Gardner Minshew for Carson Beck at any point in Arizona’s Week 9 loss to the Seahawks.

We don’t believe him. But it really doesn’t matter because Beck will get his chance at some point in the coming weeks. The Cardinals’ rookie looked good in the preseason Hall of Fame game, though it is unclear whether he can do enough to warrant QB2 treatment as a pure pocket passer. The Cardinals’ schedule softens after matchups against the Rams and Chiefs over the next two weeks. Beck should have a chance to play in Week 12 against the Commanders, if not sooner.
