NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Cardinals fear Gardner Minshew may have suffered a torn UCL in Week 9’s loss to the Seahawks.

If this proves to be the case, then Minshew played the entire second half with the injury, gutting things out for the Cardinals against a top-notch Seahawks defense. Minshew will undergo more tests to confirm the severity of his injury, but it now looks as if the Cardinals will be turning things over to rookie third-round pick Carson Beck, who threw for 188 yards and one touchdown in his lone preseason game. Beck could be in for a rough few weeks, and the Cardinals’ receiving corps looks suddenly depleted with Marvin Harrison Jr. now on the Texans and Michael Wilson (neck) and Kendrick Bourne (leg) both done for the season.
