Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew is expected to be out for the season after possibly tearing the UCL in his throwing arm during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Minshew, 30, suffered the injury before halftime during the team's 17-3 loss, but played through it the rest of the way. 

Minshew was named the starting QB heading into the game after the team benched now-former QB Jacoby Brissett during Week 8's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. He led the Cardinals to a stellar comeback, eventually winning 33-30 in overtime. 

Arizona dealt Brissett to the Ravens in a trade deal that was finalized last week, leaving Minshew as their expected starter for the rest of the season. Now, the team will look to Carson Beck as their starter. 

The team also signed long-term veteran QB Josh Johnson to serve as the backup. This will make it Johnson's 15th team in 14 seasons.

The Cardinals are gearing up for an NFC West matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, November 15th.
