Cardinals Forced to Fast Track Carson Beck’s Return Timeline After Lions Loss

The loss to the Lions on Sunday showed exactly why the Cardinals brought in QB Jacoby Brissett as a short-term solution. He finished with 292 yards and three touchdowns, but that doesn’t tell the disaster that was quietly unfolding on the field. Five straight empty possessions, five sacks, and total downfield hesitancy when the game was on the line proved Brissett was a primary reason the Cardinals‘ offense went completely cold. That breakdown was the final straw, putting the long-impending pressure on the Cardinals to fast-track Carson Beck’s regular-season debut.
