Rookie quarterback Carson Beck will make his first career start for the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10, taking the field for a matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
Beck secured the starting job after the Cardinals traded veteran signal caller Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens, and placed Gardner Minshew on season-ending injured reserve with a torn UCL on his throwing arm.
Beck has a tough task ahead, playing against a Rams defense featuring all-time great pass rushers Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett. He also has limited pass catching weapons, with wide receivers Michael Wilson, Kendrick Bourne and Jalen Brooks all on injured reserve.

With that in mind, Beck will lean heavily on superstar tight end Trey McBride.

When speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Beck heaped praise on McBride and emphasized his importance within the Cardinals' offense.
“Obviously, he’s the best player on our offense, and one of the best in the league, if not the best," Beck said. "He carries himself the right way, does the right things. ... When he gets out on the field, he's a dog. He wants the football, and obviously we try to get it to him in any way possible. Just leaning on him.
"He makes a ton of plays. You definitely want the ball in that guy's hands."
Beck, McBride and the Cardinals will kick off against the Rams at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday.
