The Arizona Cardinals have been hit hard by injuries.
Gardner Minshew is seeking additional medical opinions to confirm that he likely will need season-ending surgery on a torn UCL, ESPN's Adam Schefter and Josh Weinfuss reported on Monday
With Minshew going down, the Cardinals are also signing quarterback Josh Johnson off the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad, according to Schefter.
Johnson appeared in five games with the Washington Commanders in 2025, passing for 372 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
He had previously spent time with Tampa Bay, Cleveland, Cincinnati, the New York Jets, San Francisco and Baltimore.
The news came after the Cardinals' head coach Mike LaFleur announced that No. 1 wide receiver Michael Wilson is out for the year with a neck fracture.
LaFleur also said there's a chance Minshew will miss Arizona's Week 10 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.
"There's possibility, for sure," LeFleur said.
Minshew is undergoing tests for a right elbow injury.
The 30-year-old quarterback threw for 354 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions in one-and-a-half games after taking over for Jacoby Brissett midway through the Cardinals' comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8.
Rookie QB Carson Beck appears to be next up to take over the offence on the Cardinals' depth chart.
