Cardinals signing ex-Broncos quarterback after Gardner Minshew injury

The Arizona Cardinals are suddenly very thin at quarterback.

Last week, Arizona traded starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round selection.

After making that trade, the Cardinals turned the offense over to backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, who completed 70% of his passes for 166 yards on Sunday, but he suffered a right elbow injury that could be season-ending.

Arizona will likely now turn to third-round rookie Carson Beck, who is the only remaining healthy QB on the active roster. To shore up their depth at the position, the Cards are signing journeyman backup Josh Johnson off the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Johnson spent time with 14 other NFL teams before landing in Arizona, including a stint with the Denver Broncos in 2022. Russell Wilson served as Denver's starter that season with Brett Rypien as the primary backup and Johnson on the practice squad as a third-string option.

The 40-year-old Johnson will now join his 15th NFL club, this time as a veteran backup to Beck.
