What happened: Quarterback Gardner Minshew is likely out for the remainder of the season after suffering an arm injury during Sunday's game. The development leaves Arizona depleted at the position days after trading Jacoby Brissett to Baltimore.

Why it matters: The sudden absence leaves Arizona managing a critical void at quarterback while sitting at 3-6 in the NFC standings. Baltimore acquired Brissett on Nov. 6 to cover for an injured Lamar Jackson, leaving the Cardinals with few immediate veteran options under center.

By the numbers: In 2026 through eight games, Brissett completed 193 of 305 passes for 1,719 yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Arizona is 3-6 in 2026 through nine games following Sunday's 17-3 road loss.

What to watch: Arizona must address its quarterback depth ahead of Week 10, while Brissett is slated to start for the Ravens.
