Former Steeler Named Cardinals Starting QB

The former Pittsburgh Steelers draft pick is the Arizona Cardinals QB1.

PITTSBURGH -- The Arizona Cardinals are rolling the dice with former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Josh Dobbs as they enter the 2023 regular season. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Dobbs will be named the starter for Week 1. 

The Cardinals traded with the Cleveland Browns ahead of their final roster cuts to acquire the Steelers' fifth-round pick. He competed with rookie Clayton Tune as the team awaits the return of Kyler Murray, and will walk into the season as QB1.
