The Arizona Cardinals took two body blows on Monday and neither one came on the field.

Receiver Michael Wilson will miss the rest of the season with a neck injury, coach Mike LaFleur said. Wilson fractured a vertebra and is expected to wear a brace for six weeks to two months. Quarterback Gardner Minshew II likely needs season-ending surgery on the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, though he is seeking more medical opinions before a final call.

Both men were hurt in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson caught a 17-yard pass on Arizona's fourth offensive play and landed on his head when cornerback Devon Witherspoon brought him down. He told the team he only had a kink in his neck. Minshew was hit by linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. as he threw on the last play of the first half. He fumbled, appeared to be in pain on the walk to the locker room and still played the rest of the game.

'He's such a warrior'

"He's such a warrior that he didn't think much of it" LaFleur said of Wilson. "And then obviously when the adrenaline wore down and he got his test today, that's when we knew."

LaFleur said he is not worried about the injury being a long-term problem. Wilson finishes with 51 catches for 546 yards and two touchdowns. He was on pace for his second straight 1,000-yard season and signed a three-year, $75 million extension in September.

Carson Beck up next

Rookie Carson Beck is set to start Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Arizona also plans to sign veteran Josh Johnson off the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad. LaFleur said the offense will not change much with Beck because he likes the same concepts Minshew does.

The receiver room is now razor thin. Arizona traded Marvin Harrison Jr. to Houston in Week 5 and has already lost Jalen Brooks and Kendrick Bourne for the year. Simi Fehoko, Devin Duvernay, Reggie Virgil and Harrison Wallace III are the only active receivers left.

"Where there's setbacks, there's setups for success" LaFleur told his team. "So, we'll go from there."
