Cardinals Add Josh Johnson, Joey Aguilar Amid QB Shakeup
37 sourcesUpdated Nov 10, 20261 min read
The Arizona Cardinals are reshaping their quarterback room after trading Jacoby Brissett and losing Gardner Minshew to a torn UCL expected to sideline him for the rest of the season. Rookie Carson Beck is set to start, with veteran Josh Johnson joining the active roster from Cincinnati’s practice squad as a backup. Arizona also signed Jaguars quarterback Joey Aguilar to its 53-man roster; he completed 16 of 19 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown in the preseason. Johnson, 40, is joining his 15th NFL team and could remain with Arizona through the end of the season.

No right coverage yet — a bubble gap.
Johnson has plenty of experience but I wonder if Aguilar brings anything the team really needs right now.
Beck starting his first game against the Rams puts a lot of pressure on a rookie in a tough spot.
Minshew's elbow injury leaves the Cardinals thin at quarterback so adding Johnson is a smart move for depth.
