TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) – Arizona rookie quarterback John Skelton will get his first NFL start when the Cardinals play the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt made the announcement after practice on Friday. Skelton was considered the probable choice after Derek Anderson was sidelined with a concussion. The only other healthy quarterback is Richard Bartel, who was signed this week.
Whisenhunt said he hopes Anderson will be able to be the emergency third quarterback.
Arizona has lost seven in a row going into Sunday’s game against the Broncos, whose coach Josh McDaniels was fired this week.
