The Cardinals are without not only Peterson, but fellow projected starter Robert Alford, who is still recovering from a broken leg suffered in training camp. Tramaine Brock has a shoulder injury but seems on track to play, while rookie Byron Murphy and preseason waiver claim Kevin Peterson could...

STILL NO DAVID JOHNSON, AND A LOT OF LINEBACKERS OUT Running back David Johnson (back) didn't practice again Thursday, and the Cardinals were thin on linebackers – Jordan Hicks was not present (although it was non-injury related) in addition to all the other linebackers who had missed the day...

David Johnson, Running The Ball And The Offensive Dynamic No injury is ideal. A back issue – for instance, like the one with which running back David Johnson is dealing – usually is more complicated. You want you’re all-everything back to, you know, be able to do everything. If back tightness...

The Cardinals, searching for answers and help on defense, continue to make roster changes on that side of the ball Wednesday when they signed linebacker Ramik Wilson. Wilson had been with the Jaguars in the preseason before being released, and played in all 16 games -- with four starts -- with...

The David Johnson watch has begun, as Cardinals fans -- and, let’s be honest, fantasy football owners – wait to see if the star running back can overcome a back injury to play on Sunday against the Falcons. Coach Kliff Kingsbury was noncommittal Wednesday, hoping to have Johnson available but...

So would Murray rather be talking about those big plays? The quarterback considered this for a moment. “I don’t really care,” he said. Improvement in non-negative plays – if there can be such a category – is as much of a barometer of Murray’s growth five games into his career as anything. As...

I do believe there is a trend for teams -- slowly -- to take greater risks, and it is because of analytics. The numbers say, in many situations where teams punt, statistically they are better off and/or have a better chance than not to convert on fourth down. Honestly, it wasn't that the Bengals...

With Patrick Peterson's return from suspension still a week away and Tramaine Brock dealing with a shoulder injury, the Cardinals added some depth at cornerback Tuesday when they were awarded their waiver claim on Trevor Williams. Williams had been released by the Los Angeles Chargers Monday...

Edmonds doesn’t like to freelance from the designed running lanes often, but made an exception here: “On a toss play like that, when I know I’m already trying to circle the field but I can’t get outside, the minute I see a lane, I go. Because I know everyone else is pursuing. There’s only so...

Goodell spoke about the time Bidwill was caught in New York on 9/11, having gone to league meetings there and going to the NFL’s Manhattan office that day. “The Twin Towers had fallen, the city was literally shut down, and nobody knew what would happen next,” Goodell said. “Bill stayed in our...

Johnson shrugs off whether he’s getting carries or targets – “Wherever I’m needed,” he said – but he was a guy the Cardinals were going to need to lean on for the offense. With Kirk out with an ankle injury (Kingsbury said Kirk might be able to practice this week), it’s arguable that the Cards’...

GONZALEZ BOUNCES BACK WITH GAME-WINNER Gonzalez missed his third field goal in a span of four attempts in the first quarter, but made up for it with plenty of ensuing chances. He hit from 23, 22, 20 and the crucial 31-yarder for the win. Andy Lee didn’t punt in the game but the Cardinals...

CINCINNATI – Kliff Kingsbury’s Air Raid was grounded Sunday – on purpose. The Cardinals’ coach went to the rushing attack early and often against the Bengals and with it came great results. The team amassed 266 yards and two touchdowns at 7.0 yards per carry in the 26-23 win. Quarterback...

“We squeezed it out at the end,” linebacker Jordan Hicks said. “There are a lot of mistakes on that film we have to correct. … It seemed like, when we were running something, they ran ‘beaters’ for it. Credit to them. We had played well all game except that first drive. “We had enough points...

CINCINNATI – Players and coaches can feel it, and certainly Vance Joseph has as both a player, assistant coach and head coach – the defensive coordinator noting the euphoria that comes with a win in the NFL that makes a team feel like they won’t lose again, or the gut punch of a loss that can...

CINCINNATI – For a second time this season, the Cardinals have put their starting right tackle on season-ending injured reserve with a knee injury. Jordan Mills, signed as a free agent after the season began and who had started the past two games, was put on IR Saturday. Marcus Gilbert, who...

The three biggest things to watch for Sunday when the Cardinals play the Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati: For Both The Cardinals And The Bengals, What’s The Catch? The Cardinals are down Christian Kirk and Damiere Byrd. The Bengals are down A.J. Green and John Ross. When it comes...

Based on his pass-centric background, it’s doubtful Kliff Kingsbury will ever subscribe to a run-oriented offensive attack. The Cardinals coach likes to spread things out and let his quarterback test defenses, even when it’s an inexperienced rookie like Kyler Murray. However, the past two...
