## Key points

- Josh Johnson joins Arizona, his 15th NFL team.
- Carson Beck is set to start after Minshew’s likely season-ending injury.
- The 3-6 Cardinals are also without receiver Michael Wilson.

## Summary

The Arizona Cardinals have signed veteran quarterback Josh Johnson after Gardner Minshew suffered a likely season-ending elbow injury in a 17-3 loss to Seattle. With Jacoby Brissett already traded to Baltimore, rookie Carson Beck is set to take over as the starter, making Johnson the backup as Arizona’s quarterback options thin out.

Minshew is believed to have torn the UCL in his throwing elbow after being hit while passing, though he played through the game. The 40-year-old Johnson has now joined 15 NFL teams and last played five games for Washington in 2025. Beck, a third-round pick, completed 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown in the preseason opener; Arizona is 3-6, and top receiver Michael Wilson is also out for the season with a neck fracture.
