The Arizona Cardinals’ 2026 season takes a sharp downturn as quarterback Gardner Minshew II and wide receiver Michael Wilson are placed on injured reserve after elbow and neck injuries in a 17‑3 Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Neither will return, leaving the 3‑6 team without its two top offensive weapons. The move follows the trade of starter Jacoby Brissett to Baltimore, thrusting rookie Carson Beck into the starting QB role for Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams. Wilson’s three‑year, $75 million contract underscores the magnitude of the loss.
The Field Gulls roundup notes that Seattle left the NFL trade deadline untouched, sticking with the roster built around the Quenton Nelson deal and recent practice‑squad signing of DT Cole Brevard.

The Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals head into Week 10 with depleted rosters. The Rams lose top receiver Puka Nacua to MCL/PCL sprains and turf toe, and remain without Davante Adams and Terrance Ferguson, leaving the offense in question.
