KENNARD WON'T PLAY AGAINST THE JETS Outside linebacker Devon Kennard will miss a second straight game with a calf injury. Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips has been battling an illness in recent days and is listed as questionable, as is Banjo. Tight end Darrell Daniels (thigh) practiced on...

"Must-win" is never a term an athlete takes lightly. It's thrown around with ease by fans and media, but players and coaches usually try to avoid it – because giving more weight to one game or another isn't ideal. But Larry Fitzgerald, who has played a lot of football and seen plenty of...

It will help having Pro Bowl safety Budda Baker back in the fold. He is expected to play on Sunday against the Jets after missing the Panthers game with a thumb injury, while fellow safety Chris Banjo (hamstring) could also be back. Peterson said Baker's presence is crucial in lining up the...

The defense was without its top three safeties against Carolina. It is unclear at this point if Jalen Thompson (ankle) or Chris Banjo (hamstring) will be ready to return against New York, Kingsbury said. Deionte Thompson will likely start if they cannot go, while Washington aims to get some...

NO DARNOLD FOR JETS The potential battle of young quarterbacks Sunday was scotched after the Jets ruled the No. 3 overall 2018 pick, quarterback Sam Darnold, out because of a shoulder injury. Veteran Joe Flacco will start in his place. "He knows our playbook well," Gase said of Flacco. Gase...

Jonathan Ward has run out of "free" trips from the practice squad and back, so the Cardinals made sure the rookie running back would be available going forward by permanently promoting him to the active roster Tuesday. The corresponding move to clear a roster spot -- the release of veteran...

"Darren, it's been my belief the 2020 Cards were never making the Super Bowl and even the playoffs would have been (and may still be) a remarkable achievement. So I'm relatively happy. I definitely want better than the last two games but we're close. Who are earning contracts? Example, Reddick...

Running backs Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds each averaged more than 5.0 yards per carry a season ago but are averaging a combined 3.8 yards per carry this season. Drake was signed to the transition tag this offseason, as the Cardinals valued him among the better running backs in the NFL, but...

He didn't practice the entire week because of an ankle issue, but -- perhaps not surprisingly -- wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is active and playing Sunday against the Panthers. Hopkins had tweeted out a gif of himself Saturday about his up-in-the-air status, a move that seemed to indicate...

The Cardinals missed Budda Baker on Sunday, but the way the defense played, it probably would have needed to clone him a few times to stop the Panthers. With the Pro Bowl safety sidelined with a thumb injury – and starters Devon Kennard, Jalen Thompson and Chris Banjo shelved, too -- the group...

Baker is one of the best safeties in the league, Kingsbury said, "but that's no excuse. We knew what we had coming in." Twice the Cardinals (2-2) seemed to have a breath of life. The first came when Patrick Peterson, sliding to safety for a play, made a nice sideline interception with the...

This will be the first of three consecutive road games for the Cardinals, as they face the winless Jets in Week 5 and the Cowboys on "Monday Night Football" in Week 6. The first road foray for the Cardinals was fruitful, as they upset the defending NFC champion 49ers in the opener. Wide...

The Cardinals elevated a pair of players from the practice squad Saturday -- the first time this season they have moved up the 2020-allowed-max of two for a game -- with injuries taking a bite out of the roster. Moved up were cornerback Jace Whittaker and running back Jonathan Ward. The...

JUSTIN PUGH SHINING EARLY Justin Pugh didn't have a good first season with the Cardinals after signing a lucrative free agent deal in 2018, but he's been solid since. Pugh did a nice job at left guard a season ago and even filled in at right tackle in a pinch. Through three games this year...

Wither D-Hop, And Finding Fitz DeAndre Hopkins is spectacular, and the Cardinals need him -- "Need him bad," in the words of Larry Fitzgerald. Hopkins' ankle kept him out of practice this week, and while D-Hop's history is that he doesn't miss games, it will still be an interesting Sunday...

The Cardinals are happier with their offensive line depth this season than they have been in recent years, and they made a move Friday to keep that depth stable. The team signed reserve Justin Murray -- who started 12 games at right tackle in 2019 -- to a two-year contract extension prior to...

The Cardinals, thin at safety, are making sure they have some numbers for this weekend in Carolina. The team signed veteran T.J. Ward -- who has not played since 2017 -- to the practice squad Thursday, providing an option to pull up to the roster with the new COVID practice squad rules this...

Cardinals Charities has partnered with Larry Fitzgerald's "First Down Fund" and Albertsons/Safeway to donate $120,000 towards nutrition programming for Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley. Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley will use the money as part of their Healthy Lifestyles platform, which is...

Jalen Thompson was already sidelined, Budda Baker had thumb surgery and Chris Banjo has all but been ruled out with a bad hamstring, leaving the Cardinals in a lurch at safety. It's not an ideal situation for defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, who said Thursday his starters at the position...
