The New York Times announced that the Arizona Cardinals will start Gardner Minshew at quarterback after the team engineered a comeback victory against the Dallas Cowboys. By installing Minshew as the starter, the franchise puts his performance at the center of its offensive fortunes and signals a shift in the hierarchy of the quarterback room, where the starting slot determines both playing time and future contract considerations. Follow‑up reports from Arizona Sports, NFL.com, ESPN and NBC Sports expanded on the decision.

Arizona Sports noted that the club will “stick with Gardner Minshew,” while NFL.com specified that Minshew will lead the lineup against the Seattle Seahawks and that rookie Carson Beck will serve as the backup. ESPN added that the move pushes former starter Brissett to the third‑string slot, and NBC Sports repeated the naming of Minshew as starter and Beck as backup, underscoring the full depth‑chart adjustment. All sources concur on Minshew’s starter status and Beck’s role as backup, leaving no reported discrepancy.

The present roster configuration positions Minshew at the helm, Beck ready to replace him, and Brissett as the third option ahead of the upcoming Seahawks matchup.
