Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon declined to name a starting quarterback ahead of Week 1 and cited competitive advantage as the reason for his secrecy, but he’s throwing caution to the wind heading into Week 2.

Gannon said at a Monday press conference that Joshua Dobbs will remain the starter when the Cardinals host the Giants next Sunday.

The story said Dobbs was 21-of-30 for 132 yards and did enough to help the Cardinals hold a lead into the fourth quarter in Washington, but he lost a pair of fumbles late in the game. Those turnovers led to 10 Commanders points and proved to be the difference in a 20-16 Cardinals loss.

I asked Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon if he might announce his starting QB before Sunday or just roll him out on game day at the Commanders on Sunday in Landover. His response:

"I ain't telling you anything."

The least interesting Week 1 quarterback controversy in recent history, Gannon is keeping his cards close to his vest. Starting either quarterback in any fantasy format would be a mistake.

The Browns are sending QB Joshua Dobbs and a 2024 seventh-round pick to the Cardinals for a 2024 fifth-round pick, per sources. Arizona hasn't named a starting QB, and now Dobbs is in the mix.

Joshua Dobbs was with Cardinals OC Drew Petzing in Cleveland, so he knows the offense. With Kyler Murray still recovering from a torn ACL, it's now Dobbs competing with Colt McCoy and rookie Clayton Tune for the job.

The job is not appealing for fantasy purposes, but there's a slight chance there could be an opportunity for streaming in 2QB leagues.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger placed on COVID-19 list.

Roethlisberger was deemed a high-risk, close contact, per source. This comes after TE Vance McDonald tested positive. Provided Big Ben passes COVID tests this week, he would be eligible to come off the list Saturday and play Sunday against the Bengals, according to Schefter. If Roethlisberger can't play, Rudolph would be expected to get the start with Dobbs the backup.
