Cardinals announce Josh Rosen will start in Week 4
Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks decided to turn his offense over to Josh Rosen with the game on the line against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, and he is planning to do the same going forward.
On Monday, Wilks announced that Rosen will start at quarterback for the Cardinals when they host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4.

It was only a matter of time before Rosen took over for Sam Bradford, who had been underwhelming in his three starts this season. The veteran completed just 13-of-19 passes for 157 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions prior to being replaced by Rosen on Sunday. Rosen was not much better and threw a pick of his own, but the Cardinals traded up to draft him for a reason. They’re going nowhere with Bradford under center, so it makes sense to start getting Rosen some meaningful reps.
It will be interesting to see if the Cardinals choose to keep Bradford on their roster, as they may have some financial incentive to make him inactive or waive him.
