Pugh paves the way: “The defensive end (Rasheem Green) was actually dropping (into coverage). So you can see he’s trying to drop here and then he reads run. He didn’t play it right, and he basically takes both of these guys (himself and linebacker K.J. Wright) out of the play, and I was able to...

Kyler Murray hasn’t missed a football game due to injury since high school. The Cardinals’ rookie quarterback is hoping that doesn’t change Sunday. Murray did some light work during the open portion of Tuesday’s practice, tossing the ball to receivers inside the bubble as it rained outside...

Even if Jones were to be shut out – he had one-half sack against the Rams when the teams met earlier this month – it wouldn’t distract from what has been a Pro Bowl year, a potential All-Pro year, a year where Jones has made a case for NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Jones became only the...

SEATTLE -- After the early results of Sunday's game, the Cardinals know all their opponents for the 2020 schedule. The Panthers' loss in Indianapolis, combined with the Falcons' win over the Jaguars, solidified Carolina's fourth-place finish in the NFC South. It means the Cardinals -- who will...

Coach Kliff Kingsbury wishes the Cardinals (5-9-1) had a better win total so Jones could be in the Defensive Player of the Year race. Asked if Jones knocked down that door, anyway, with his performance against the Seahawks, Kingsbury said “he gets my vote. I’m all for it.” While Jones was the...

SEATTLE – Kenyan Drake ran for an 80-yard touchdown early in Sunday’s 27-13 win over the Seahawks and then celebrated by taking imaginary money out of a vault and placing it in a bag. The Cardinals running back won’t be playing make-believe much longer. Drake, an unrestricted free agent in...

“I was fixing to have a big game,” said Jones, who insisted he wasn’t thinking about having an outside shot at Michael Strahan’s NFL record 22½ sacks in a season. The other player fixing to have a big game was Drake, who busted off an 80-yard touchdown run the first play after the Seahawks’...

“I feel like anybody in that situation wants to play,” Murray said after the game, adding that he wouldn’t want to play if “I couldn’t be myself.” Hundley said Monday that if he has to start, “really, nothing changes.” “My preparation has been the same,” he said. “It’s going out and having...

The Cardinals have been dangerous when remaining unpredictable before the snap. Murray was comfortable all game against Cleveland and dominated, finishing fourth in the NFL in Total QBR for Week 15. After re-watching the tape of the Seahawks game, Murray feels much more confident about the...

Safety Larry Wilson and cornerback Dick "Night Train" Lane are the other former Cardinals with a spot on the NFL all-time team, with only the quarterbacks remaining to be named. Fitzgerald is heading into the final two games of the season – including Sunday’s in Seattle – with a team-leading...

When September Turns December The Cardinals last played the Seahawks in September, a lifetime ago for both teams. At the time, it was unlikely the Seahawks would have been considered the frontrunners for the top seed in the NFC, which they are now heading into the last two games. The Cardinals...

Jalen Thompson’s first season has been a whirlwind, and even more of one than most rookies. The safety originally expected to spend 2019 in college at Washington State, and by the time he entered the supplemental draft and was chosen in the fifth round by the Cardinals, he had missed out on...

On the games in which Patrick Peterson wears a microphone, he acknowledged he doesn’t remember what he says. “I’m out there, pure emotions, pure fire, just me being the guy I am,” Peterson said, adding, “that’s the one thing I do look forward to (seeing the footage): What the heck was I...

When D.J. Humphries gets passionate about something, he will lock eyes with his counterpart so fiercely and explain things so convincingly it feels nearly impossible to disagree. On Thursday afternoon, the gaze was on full display as the 25-year-old left tackle rattled off a list of positives...

When Wilson arrived in Seattle, sub-6-foot quarterbacks were ultra-rare, and Carroll wasn’t initially certain he could run everything normally. But it didn’t take long for Wilson to prove he could execute as well or better than his taller brethren. “We needed to find out what it was like to...

Instead, Drake has locked down not only the starting role but the bulk of the work – not that he’s much interested in celebrating his patience paying off. “It’s bigger than me,” Drake said. “The game is not about any one individual player and whatever specific accolades he can accumulate. Not...

Patrick Peterson went to the Cardinals' coaches last week and told them he wanted to take on Odell Beckham of the Browns. Beckham was Cleveland's best receiver, a friend who like Peterson attended LSU, and the kind of player that ramps up Peterson's play. By the time the game was over...

The Cardinals’ injured reserve list grew Wednesday by two, when inside linebacker Tanner Vallejo (ribs) and cornerback Kevin Peterson (shoulder) landed there to end their season. It kick-started a handful of roster moves for the Cards, which promoted outside linebacker Vontarrius Dora from the...

Baker, who was named to a Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2017 on special teams, has 135 tackles this season, six passes defensed and five tackles for loss. He’s been a steadying influence in a secondary dominated with youth and with cornerback Patrick Peterson missing six games with a suspension...
