Cardinals Place Gardner Minshew, Michael Wilson on IR; Work Out QBs Cooper Rush and Trevor Siemian

The Cardinals made it official Tuesday, placing quarterback Gardner Minshew and receiver Michael Wilson on injured reserve, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Neither is expected to play again this season.

Both were hurt in Sunday's 17-3 loss in Seattle. Minshew tore the UCL in his throwing elbow on the last play of the first half and likely needs season-ending surgery, though he had been seeking more medical opinions. He played the entire second half anyway and finished 21 of 30 for 166 yards in his first start of the season. Wilson fractured a vertebra on the fourth offensive play and kept playing. He finishes with 51 catches for 546 yards and two touchdowns.

Arizona is still looking at quarterbacks. The Cardinals brought in veterans Cooper Rush and Trevor Siemian for workouts Tuesday, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported.

That's on top of two additions in as many days. Arizona signed 40-year-old Josh Johnson off the Bengals' practice squad Monday and added rookie Joey Aguilar to the active roster from the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday. Rookie Carson Beck, who spent the first eight weeks as the emergency third quarterback, is in line to start. The room was already thin after the Cardinals traded Jacoby Brissett to Baltimore last week, once Minshew had won the job.

Wilson's loss leaves Beck with little to work with outside. Arizona traded Marvin Harrison Jr. to Houston in October, and Jalen Brooks and Kendrick Bourne are also done for the year.

The Cardinals (3-6) host the Rams on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. PT.
