- Carson Beck (ribs) unlikely to play Saturday
Carson Beck (ribs) is unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.

What the analysts are saying
“Beck recently suffered an injury to his ribs. It's not considered a serious issue at this point, but it still looks like the team will have him sit out on Saturday as a precautionary measure. Gardner Minshew II is in line to be Arizona's starter against the Cowboys, assuming the 24-year old is officially ruled out ahead of game time.”
