Carson Beck will miss at least one week due to a rib injury sustained in the Hall of Fame Game. The injury, while not serious, prompts the Arizona Cardinals to prioritize caution as they prepare for Thursday night's preseason clash against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Beck, a third-round pick from Miami, practiced despite soreness throughout the week. His absence means fans will miss a highly anticipated quarterback showdown against fellow rookie Fernando Mendoza, who is set to make his NFL debut. The two previously faced off in the College Football Playoff National Championship, where Mendoza's Indiana team triumphed over Beck's Miami.

In his own debut, Beck showcased his talent by completing 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown, marking a promising start to his professional career. His first touchdown was a 5-yard pass to Simi Fehoko in the second quarter. Additionally, Jalen Brooks emerged as a key target, recording three receptions for 99 yards, including a notable 49-yard catch.

Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur expressed confidence in Beck's approach, saying, "It's a broken record, but it's the same thing I keep seeing in practice. He doesn't make it too big. He just makes it about the play." With Beck sidelined, veteran Jacoby Brissett is set to take the helm in a game that promises to showcase new talent.
