Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew is seeking additional medical opinions on a torn elbow ligament that will likely require season-ending surgery, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Josh Weinfuss, as cited in an Associated Press report published by Sportsnet on Monday.

Minshew is undergoing tests on his right elbow. Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said there is a chance the quarterback will miss Arizona’s Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Surgery has not been confirmed.

The 30-year-old threw for 354 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions across one-and-a-half games after replacing Jacoby Brissett midway through Arizona’s Week 8 comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys. Rookie Carson Beck appears next in line on the Cardinals’ quarterback depth chart.

The update adds to Arizona’s injury troubles. LaFleur also announced that No. 1 wide receiver Michael Wilson will miss the rest of the season with a neck fracture.
