What happened: Quarterback Carson Beck and tight end Trey McBride addressed reporters during a joint media session Wednesday. The press conference followed the team naming Beck the starter for Sunday against the Rams. Beck steps into the lineup after being drafted 65th overall in the 2026 draft.

Why it matters: Arizona enters the week thinned by injuries at wide receiver, leaving McBride as the central target in the passing attack. Beck previously operated in schemes heavily featuring tight ends before entering the NFL this season. Arizona rebuffed outside trade inquiries for McBride ahead of the deadline to keep the veteran playmaker paired with the young quarterback.

What to watch: Beck makes his starting debut Sunday when Arizona faces the Rams.
