Kingsbury acknowledged it has been a different situation for him having to teach new players the offense at this point in the season – when coaching in college, if a couple of running backs got hurt, “you’re like nine deep, so you keep rolling through.” “Chase is the only back that’s been here...

FITZGERALD EXPECTS TO MAKE PLAYS LIKE ONE IN END ZONE Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had a quiet day, finishing with only two catches for eight yards. He nearly had a critical touchdown 13-yard touchdown reception in the first half on a fade pass but couldn’t get his second foot in-bounds...

Edmonds ran for 126 yards and three touchdowns in last week’s win over the Giants but couldn’t find much room at all against the Saints, finishing with seven carries for eight yards. Kingsbury gave him the ball on a crucial fourth-and-1 from the Arizona 30 in the third quarter and Edmonds was...

If Edmonds can’t play, the Cards would be down to Alfred Morris and Zach Zenner – both of whom signed last week – as their running backs. Morris was inactive Sunday. Perhaps Kingsbury and the Cardinals would feel better about that situation had the rest of things gone better against the Saints...

The three biggest things to watch for Sunday when the Cardinals play the Saints at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans: Murray’s More Than Four, And Chasing The Running Back Situation Kyler Murray isn’t going to only throw four passes in a half Sunday. He can’t. The Saints are a team...

The kickoff for Cardinals-Saints is 10 a.m. Arizona time on Sunday, but the substantive movement will begin 90 minutes prior. Both teams must announce their inactives by then, and there are some big names on both sides that have been listed as questionable. The Cardinals hope to have running...

TUNE-IN INFORMATION FOR CARDINALS-SAINTS Where to Watch, Listen & Follow Sunday, October 27 at 10 a.m. at Mercedes-Benz Superdome TELEVISION BROADCAST Kevin Harlan (play-by-play), Rich Gannon (analyst) and Jay Feely (sideline) DIGITAL BROADCAST Watch the Cardinals on Yahoo Sports or...

The Cardinals’ arrow is pointed up, but the recent momentum will be significantly challenged by the Saints. New Orleans has been without Brees (thumb) for the past five games -- and won them all. He practiced this week and could make his return against the Cardinals. If not, backup Teddy...

The Cardinals’ defense looked completely different on Sunday against the Giants. It had eight sacks, three takeaways and allowed only 14 points, by far the best performance of 2019. Outside linebacker Chandler Jones dominated, but despite his mammoth day, the credit kept trickling back to...

Offensive lines are usually a tight-knit bunch. Call it the nature of the position, call it an us-against-the-world situation that almost every line faces at some point. Call it the reality that, in everyone’s mind, the five players are almost always considered as a group. But Kugler said his...

CARDINALS BEST IN NFL AT PROTECTING THE FOOTBALL The Cardinals went a third straight game without a turnover against the Giants. They have only four on the season, which is the lowest total in the NFL. Quarterback Kyler Murray has been impressive for a rookie, as he has the 12th-lowest...

The Cardinals have a short turnaround after the Saints game, playing the 49ers at home on Thursday’s Halloween night. “In a perfect world” Kingsbury said it would make sense to rest Johnson a game to have him ready for a division opponent a few days later. He reiterated the Cardinals would be...

Chandler Jones wasn’t named as one of the league’s top 100 players when the NFL put out its list during the preseason. But he was named the best defensive player in the conference Wednesday morning. The Cardinals’ linebacker dominated Sunday in New York, sacking Giants quarterback Daniel...

If Johnson remains limited or even sidelined, Edmonds will continue to play a big role. The second-year man is fourth in the NFL with 5.6 yards per carry, and that included Edmonds’ last seven carries for a net of minus-9 yards as the Giants teed off against the run in the rainstorm. Kingsbury...

Jones brushes off the slight, worried little about subjective opinions. The more important thing to him is performance, and Jones was a menace from start to finish against the Giants. Jones’ biggest play was a sack-fumble in the third quarter in which he chopped down on the arm of Giants...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Patrick Peterson is never shy to toot his own horn, and he blared it postgame Sunday after the Cardinals’ best defensive performance of the season coincided with his return to the lineup. “The P2 effect set in,” Peterson said with a chuckle. The Cardinals’ star...

The best running back on the field Sunday was Edmonds – although he kept coming back to Johnson. Early in the game, Edmonds threw up on the sidelines right before a Cardinals’ possession – Edmonds said he didn’t know why, and it was just water – and Johnson, who had played just three snaps...

The Cardinals are on the right track because Kingsbury and Murray have acclimated quickly to the professional level. The 2018 offense was among the worst in recent NFL history, and this year’s version is already comfortably in the middle of the pack. Murray is fresh off an NFC Offensive Player...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The final step of Patrick Peterson's return from suspension came Saturday, when the Cardinals officially put the cornerback back on the 53-man roster. The team had used its week-long roster exemption for Peterson for him to come back to practice this week without...

DAVID JOHNSON A GAME-DAY DECISION WITH RUNNING BACK GROWING THIN Not unexpectedly, both running back David Johnson (ankle) and wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) are game-day decisions, Kingsbury said. But Kingsbury did say that had the Cardinals needed to play Friday, Johnson would not have...
