Cardinals quarterback Carson Beck will not play Thursday against the Raiders due to a rib injury sustained in last week's Hall of Fame Game, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Beck impressed in his preseason debut in that game but will sit out the matchup.
One outlet reported the injury is not considered serious, and that Beck practiced through it all week before the team decided to hold him out. The decision clears the way for Fernando Mendoza to start in Thursday's preseason game.
