We know who the Arizona Cardinals will start at quarterback in the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday against the Carolina Panthers. The team announced it on Monday morning.
That means the game will be a gripping battle between Beck, a third-round pick, and Kenny Pickett, the Panthers' veteran backup quarterback.
Beck will likely start with a bunch of third-string players and players deeper on the roster, but it will be what the Cardinals need to see — can he handle the speed of the NFL game and handle offensive operations — the huddle, the communication and more.
The game kicks off Thursday at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. Arizona time) and will air on NBC.
