Simmons, smiling Tuesday in his first meeting with the media since training camp, found a way to get past the inevitable frustration.
It helped after going through a similar situation at Clemson, redshirting his first year and then playing limited snaps as a redshirt freshman. But that didn't...
"Hi Darren, I want to talk about a very big problem I see. And it's been all year, even in our wins. The wide receivers aren't getting open. And it isn't their fault, it's the play call. I don't expect you to watch film, but on our first drive vs Seattle, we had a play where our 3 WRs all ran...
Kyler Murray did not log a full practice with his teammates on Tuesday, but the Cardinals' star quarterback does not seem particularly concerned with his shoulder injury.
Murray called the decision to limit his passes a "precautionary" move after he was hurt on a sack early in Thursday night's...
The national perceptions of Kliff Kingsbury and Bill Belichick were personified by their at-home draft setups in April.
Kingsbury, part of the wunderkind coaching fraternity at age 41, sat coolly in the living room of his Paradise Valley abode as the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him ushered...
Their defensive line hurting, the Cardinals made official the long-anticipated signing of veteran Domata Peko Sr. on Monday.
Peko, who played for defensive coordinator Vance Joseph in Denver and was also with the Bengals when Joseph was the defensive backs coach there, is in his 15th season...
The Cardinals were called for four false start penalties in Seattle. In normal years, some of that can be blamed on the deafening crowd noise, but there were no fans in the stands this time.
There were also a pair of killer back-to-back penalties on offense, when the Cardinals had the ball...
Kliff Kingsbury said he was "not sure about the extent" of a shoulder injury suffered by quarterback Kyler Murray early in Thursday night’s loss in Seattle.
The coach reiterated Murray got hurt on a sack by L.J. Collier in which fellow Seattle defensive lineman Carlos Dunlap landed on Murray...
That's because starter De'Vondre Campbell, who is dealing with a calf injury, will be active against the Seahawks Thursday night, giving defensive coordinator Vance Joseph some leeway in his schemes. Another key "questionable" player, tight end Maxx Williams (ankle), is also active, although...
POTENT RUNNING GAME STALLS
The Cardinals' vaunted running game did not find much room to roam against the Seahawks. Kenyan Drake, Kyler Murray and Chase Edmonds combined to carry the ball 18 times for 57 yards, a 3.2 yards-per-carry average.
"We have to do a better job of executing against a...
Murray finished 29-of-42 passing for 269 yards, touchdown passes to Chase Edmonds and Dan Arnold, and no turnovers. Yet the flow to the offense never got there. Larry Fitzgerald led the Cardinals with eight catches for 62 yards, as both DeAndre Hopkins (5-51) and Christian Kirk (4-50) never were...

Russell Wilson has thrown seven interceptions in his past four games, beginning with a three-pick performance against the Cardinals. He roasted the Arizona defense in the first half of Week 7 but exotic blitz schemes kept Wilson off-balance after intermission.
"Our goal all year has been to...
The Cardinals go into their Thursday night game against the Seahawks hurting on the defensive line, and it figures to be an issue at least in the short term.
The Cardinals placed not only Corey Peters, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last week, on Injured Reserve on Thursday, but also...
From the moment they drafted Isaiah Simmons, the Cardinals always had a plan.
In an offseason shortened by COVID-19, coach Kliff Kingsbury and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph did not want to give the No. 8 overall pick too much responsibility too soon, despite his immense physical gifts...
It took just nine games for DeAndre Hopkins to have a signature moment as an Arizona Cardinal.
And that catch heard 'round the NFL also gave Hopkins his initial award as a Card, after the wide receiver was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week Wednesday morning.
Hopkins finished the...
Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed Wednesday morning what had been feared since defensive lineman Corey Peters was carted from the field Sunday after hurting his knee against the Bills -- that Peters is out for the rest of the season.
The NFL Network reported it was a torn patellar...
Speaking of Wilson, he hurt the Cardinals for a chunk of the game in Arizona. Then Vance Joseph started getting blitz-heavy and a lot more confusing with his looks, and it cost Wilson some interceptions and ultimately, the game. The Seahawks' run game is tepid at best; if the Cards' defense can...
Joseph has received more credit of late, as his second-half adjustments have helped contribute to recent comeback wins against the Seahawks and Bills.
He's done it despite two starters being out for the year – All-Pro outside linebacker Chandler Jones and cornerback Robert Alford – with the...
Boasting isn't part of Murray's game, although he's not going to shy away from stating the facts as he knows them, either. He said he could've played better against the Bills, although "when the team is winning, obviously I feel like the quarterback is doing something well." Statistically, he...
It's been a few years since this was needed, but it's time to bring back a weekly look at the NFC playoff picture with the Cardinals in the thick of the race.
A thrilling last-second win over the Bills on Sunday pushed them to the top of the NFC West via tiebreaker. The Cardinals are currently...
