Arizona Cardinals QB Gardner Minshew has potentially season-ending injury
Now, in his first start with the Cardinals, he has a potentially season-ending elbow injury.
Key points
- Last season with the Kansas City Chiefs, in his first start after Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL, Minhew suffered a tibial plateau fracture and had a bone bruise in his knee, ending his season.
- In 2024 with the Las Vegas Raiders, he broke his left collarbone in November, ending his season.
- He replaced Jacoby Brissett in the second half of Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys and led the Cardinals to four touchdowns and a 33-30 overtime win.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew appeared to hurt his arm at the end of the first half when he was hit in the arm by Seattle Seahawks linebacker Dante Fowler, forcing a fumble.
If he ends up with a season-ending injury and on injured reserve, it will be the third consecutive year he finishes the season on injured reserve.
Additional details
- According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it is feared he has suffered a torn UCL in his elbow and that he will miss the rest of the season.
