The Arizona Cardinals have yet to name a starting quarterback for this season.
With Kyler Murray out, Jonathan Gannon has been trying to figure out who will start in Week 1, whether it’s Colt McCoy, Clayton Tune, or recently acquired Josh Dobbs.
McCoy hasn’t run away with the job and that has Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports wondering if he’s going to be cut before the season.
“All offseason, the 36-year-old reserve has been penciled in as the Week 1 starter with Kyler Murray rehabbing from his 2022 ACL tear. But in between ailments of his own, McCoy has been just OK battling with rookie Clayton Tune, and now Arizona has acquired Joshua Dobbs from the Browns as added competition. In a rebuilding year, McCoy (is) already profiled as a placeholder at best,” Benjamin wrote.
In the preseason so far, McCoy has only completed nine passes for 42 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
Meanwhile, Tune has completed 25 passes for 268 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Things could get dicey real quick for McCoy if he doesn’t have a strong performance in the Cardinals’ final preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday.
Kickoff for that contest will be at 1 p.m. ET.
