Overview
- Carson Beck said on June 17 that he has spent long days learning the playbook and working with coaches, describing 13‑hour practice and study sessions to speed his transition to the NFL.
- The Cardinals still have an open competition between Beck, Gardner Minshew and Jacoby Brissett with no starter named as evaluators focus on comfort with Mike LaFleur’s offense and live reps.
- Jacoby Brissett has limited on‑field participation after skipping voluntary OTAs while seeking more guaranteed money, which has reduced coaches’ chances to assess him in practice.
- Gardner Minshew took the bulk of starter snaps in voluntary work and carries a one‑year deal with roughly $5 million guaranteed, giving him a practical edge in early evaluations.
- Coaches say the next 40 days, training camp reporting July 22 and game action in the Hall of Fame Game will shape roster and contract decisions and determine which quarterback gets meaningful playing time.
