Mike LaFleur on Carson Beck: The same thing I keep seeing in practice - NBC Sports

Cardinals rookie quarterback Carson Beck started the 2026 Hall of Fame Game and led three scoring drives in the first half of the preseason opener.
Beck finished 15-of-19 for 188 yards, guiding a 13-play, 96-yard drive capped by a Corey Kiner rushing touchdown and a four-play, 60-yard drive ending in a five-yard touchdown pass to Simi Fehoko.
He also connected on a pair of long completions to wide receiver Jalen Brooks during the outing.
Head coach Mike LaFleur praised the third-round pick, saying the performance matched what he has consistently seen in practice and that Beck "doesn't make it too big" but focuses on the play.
Jacoby Brissett remains the Cardinals' No. 1 quarterback, and Beck is not expected to overtake him this summer.
Beck's strong debut supports his standing as a potential long-term option under center, with continued preseason production likely to strengthen that outlook.
