What happened: Gardner Minshew is undergoing medical evaluation on his elbow, with Mike LaFleur noting the quarterback could be sidelined for Sunday's game. The setback coincides with Michael Wilson being ruled out for the remainder of the season. Rookie Carson Beck, selected 65th overall out of Miami, is slated to step in if Minshew cannot play.
Why it matters: The Rams enter the matchup at 5-4 through nine games on a three-game winning streak following a 20-13 victory over Washington. Losing Wilson sidelines Arizona's primary perimeter target, while turning to Beck would thrust the rookie into his first professional action against a division rival.
By the numbers: Wilson has caught 51 passes for 546 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2026 through 9 games. Los Angeles is 5-4 in 2026 through 9 games.
What to watch: Arizona will monitor Minshew's test results throughout the week before finalizing its starting quarterback for Sunday against Los Angeles.
