No. 1 in the 30-second version
Carson Beck will make his first NFL start for the Cardinals Sunday against the Rams.
Head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed the decision after Gardner Minshew II suffered a reportedly season-ending ulnar collateral ligament injury in Week 9. Beck, a third-round pick, led the ACC in completion rate at Miami before the Hurricanes lost the College Football Playoff title game to Indiana. CBS Sports notes his first assignment pits him against pass rushers Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett.

Matthew Stafford was a full participant at Rams practice Wednesday, while Myles Garrett was limited.
Stafford played all 75 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over Washington despite his right elbow injury. Garrett returned Sunday after missing time since Week 1 with knee surgery and had three sacks. Puka Nacua was placed on injured reserve, which ProFootballTalk's video headline calls troubling for the Rams.

Broncos and Chargers call off trade sending Daiyan Henley to Denver, and he stays with Los Angeles.
The deal, agreed at Tuesday's trade deadline for a 2027 fourth-round and 2028 fifth-round pick, was canceled late Wednesday, and neither team gave a reason. The trade was reportedly pending a physical, and ESPN reported Henley took one at the Broncos' facility Wednesday. Henley, who leads the 0-8 Chargers with 51 tackles, is in the final year of his rookie deal and is slated to become a free agent in March.

The Bengals and Eagles called off a trade that would have sent edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie to Cincinnati.
NBC Sports Philadelphia reported the deal would have canceled out a 2027 third-round compensatory pick the Bengals are due after losing Trey Hendrickson, since Ebiketie was signed by Philadelphia as a compensatory free agent. Bengals coach Zac Taylor apologized and said it was on Cincinnati's end. Ebiketie, 27, has played in all nine Eagles games with 25 tackles, two quarterback hits and no sacks.

The Eagles traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jaguars for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick.
Davis signed a three-year, $78 million extension eight months ago and had half a sack in the first eight weeks of this season, according to NBC Sports Philadelphia. The Athletic's Daniel Popper gave the Eagles an A+ and the Jaguars a D-, while CBS Sports' Garrett Podell gave the Eagles an A and the Jaguars a B-. The trade clears room to keep Moro Ojomo, and NBC Sports Philadelphia argues the Eagles should extend him.
