TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Five weeks removed from the San Diego practice squad, Ryan Lindley will start at quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals against Seattle on Sunday night.
Coach Bruce Arians announced the decision Monday following the team’s practice, with experience the deciding factor in choosing Lindley over rookie Logan Thomas in what figures to be the biggest game for the Cardinals this season.
However, Arians said he will have a package for Thomas in the game plan and both quarterbacks might see action.
Lindley came on in relief when Drew Stanton went down with a knee injury in Thursday night’s 12-6 victory at St. Louis.
The Cardinals can clinch the NFC’s No. 1 playoff seed with a win over the Seahawks, who opened as a 7½-point favorite.
