Fitzgerald was surprised to hear Kingsbury defend him so vociferously, saying no coach has ever taken the blame for not featuring him enough. "As a player, I do appreciate him saying that, but I don't want my head coach answering questions about one individual being not targeted, targeted, or...

The Lions' defensive formula worked on Sunday. After two weeks of dazzling rushing displays, Kyler Murray was held in check on the ground – five carries for 29 yards and a touchdown -- and threw three interceptions. In a copycat league, teams may choose to enact a similar plan in upcoming...

"Yards after catch was something I wanted to get better at coming into the season," Hopkins said. "Kliff put me in position to do those things and make plays with the ball and go one-on-one with guys. "It's not just me, it's the blocking, guys coming out to get a defender off of me. Yards...

"Hi Darren. I want to talk about this 'Isaiah Simmons to safety' thing, because I think you misunderstand the intention. Those of us in Camp Move-Him-To-Safety are not panicking about Simmons sub-par play at ILB. You are right, it's only two games. Our feelings are that Simmons would be a better...

The Cards still haven't gotten a huge game from running back Kenyan Drake or found a rhythm for Larry Fitzgerald – things that were considered givens coming into the season. "I wouldn't say frustration," Edmonds said. "I think it's more urgency. We need to be a little more urgent. We know the...

Clemson moved Isaiah Simmons all over the field last season by choice. The Cardinals may have to do so out of need. The safety position has been slammed by injuries in the first three weeks, as starters Budda Baker (thumb) and Jalen Thompson (ankle) won't play against the Panthers in Week 4...

It wasn't who is inactive Sunday for the Cardinals but rather who was active -- at least this week -- that made for the biggest storyline. Safety Budda Baker played. But the NFL Network reported early Sunday morning that Baker has a ligament tear in his thumb and that the Pro Bowler plans to...

Mind games played tricks on Andy Isabella as a rookie. The athletic ability was there, but the confidence was not. On Sunday, the speedy second-year receiver believed he would be a difference-maker, and then went out and did it. Isabella had his finest game as a professional against the...

Kyler Murray was matter-of-fact in his assessment, as obvious it may have been to him or anyone else after the Cardinals' disappointing loss to the Lions Sunday. "When you believe you should've won the game and you didn't do the necessary things to win the game, it's going to be frustrating,"...

The Lions have the toughest passing game the Cardinals will have seen through three weeks, even if Matthew Stafford hasn't quite hit on all cylinders in the earlygoing. Detroit can also rely on the ageless Adrian Peterson in the backfield, as he is averaging 6.4 yards per carry in the first...

The Cardinals made one of their allowed weekly practice-squad elevations Saturday by moving up running back Jonathan Ward. It will give coach Kliff Kingsbury the option for a third running back Sunday against the Lions behind Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds between two rookies -- Ward...

PETERSON UNBOTHERED BY MCLAURIN'S BIG DAY The Washington offense struggled against the Cardinals, but receiver Terry McLaurin had a sterling performance with seven catches for 125 yards and a touchdown. Cornerback Patrick Peterson shadowed him much of the day, but because a lot of the...

The Lions get back Kenny Golladay, there best receiver who had a bad hamstring the first two games. He's the kind of receiver that usually gets the Patrick Peterson treatment. Last year, the Cards didn't have Peterson, the Lions had Golladay, and he had just four catches. But tight end T.J...

If the 2020 NFL season was a jet ski ride, the Cardinals' pass defense spent the first two games in the no-wake zone. On Sunday, the water could get choppy. The Cardinals were fortunate to face a 49ers team in Week 1 that was without receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. In Week 2, they...

The Cardinals didn't know Devon Kennard would eventually be available as a free agent when he was piling up three sacks against them and then-rookie quarterback Kyler Murray during last year's tie against the Lions. Kennard, now Murray's teammate, can't even say if he'd be able to have the...

There are three notable obstacles keeping Andy Isabella from seeing the field consistently for the Cardinals: DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk. If the second-year receiver can build off Sunday's standout performance against Washington, he may barge through anyway...

The Cardinals brought a familiar face back to the practice squad. Veteran Jaron Brown, the 2013 undrafted rookie who played five seasons with the Cardinals before leaving as a free agent, signed to the practice squad Wednesday. Brown had left to go to the Seahawks in 2018 and played the last...

Comfort is the level Murray has found, especially running the ball. He’s been electric the first two games of the season, a prong of his game the Lions did not see a year ago. The Lions dealt with David Johnson in 2019, not Kenyan Drake, the latter of whom is a much better fit for the offense...

The Cardinals will hear some cheering Sunday at State Farm Stadium, after the team got approval to have a small group of spectators -- made up of family and close friends of players, coaches and staff -- for the game against the Detroit Lions. The permission from the Arizona Department of...
