Cardinals to open roof for Carson Beck’s NFL debut vs. Rams

When Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Carson Beck takes the field for his NFL debut on Sunday, it will be under an open roof at State Farm Stadium.

The team announced Saturday the roof was expected to be open based on the weather forecast of mid-70s at kickoff and throughout the game before it dips back into the 60s for the evening, according to the National Weather Service.

It is the first time this season that the roof will be open, and it comes earlier than any open-roof contest last season.

Beck and the Cardinals will face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday after upsetting the division rival in L.A. on Oct. 18.

That was the last game the Rams lost, winning three straight since a 2-4 start to the season. However, L.A. will not have star wideout Puka Nacua (toe/ankle) after he led his team in receiving the past six weeks.

While the personnel on the Arizona offense has been depleted by injuries in addition to trades, the Cardinals added reinforcements to the active roster Saturday in wide receiver Zay Jones and tight end Hunter Long.
