There were some positive steps for the Cardinals in the first two weeks on defense, coordinator Vance Joseph believed. That got lost when the Panthers and backup QB Kyle Allen produced 38 points. “This past weekend we took three steps back, and that’s disappointing,” Joseph said. But it...

Gonzalez began his career as a seventh-round pick of the Browns in 2017, but was cut two games into his second year after some high-profile misses. A groin injury affected the performance, so Gonzalez went back to his native Texas to rehabilitate and wait for his next chance. He was unemployed...

Wilson has downplayed his successes opening the door for shorter QBs like Murray, noting there have been guys like Fran Tarkenton, Michael Vick and even Drew Brees – although each of those players were at least 6-feet tall. The game between Murray and Wilson, in fact, is the first time both...

As part of the Arizona Cardinals Fantennial celebration, the team is hosting a 'Hall of Fame Day' at State Farm Stadium on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Cardinals fans are invited to the free event, which will feature a Q&A session and autographs with Cardinals Hall of Famers Aeneas Williams...

The Cardinals filled their roster vacancy Wednesday by signing veteran Chris Banjo, a safety who excels on special teams but could potentially help in the secondary as well. The Cards had a spot on their 53-man roster after releasing wide receiver Michael Crabtree earlier this week...

Michael Crabtree’s tenure with the Cardinals lasted just three unremarkable games. The veteran wide receiver never became a big part of the offense, and because he was not a clear upgrade at the position, the team cut bait on Monday. Coach Kliff Kingsbury said the move was designed to give...

Well, didn't you answer your own question? Levi Brown was going to be a top 10 pick that year regardless, and he was the second-best tackle. But the Cards felt they needed to fix the OL in 2007 under any means necessary. So they passed on Peterson. So if you're OK with it in 2020, you have to be...

In the preseason, Ryan Winslow did well enough for the Arizona Cardinals that they believed he should have a job in the NFL -- it just couldn't be Arizona, where the team had record-setter Andy Lee at punter. But with Lee hurting with a hip flexor injury suffered while making a tackle Sunday...

Chandler Jones chops down on the hands of Panthers right tackle Taylor Moton to get the advantage: “I anticipated him punching, so I just tried to beat his hands. The guard (Trai Turner) kept coming out and chipping, so I knew I had to go fast. If I was late, he would have had time to chip and...

The Michael Crabtree experiment didn’t last long with the Cardinals. The veteran wide receiver was released Monday, three games and two appearances into his one-year contract. He never looked like a fit in the offense, especially when it became clear that Damiere Byrd and KeeSean Johnson had...

The stat lines from opposing tight ends have smacked the Cardinals in the collective face. T.J. Hockensen 6 catches, 131 yards, 1 TD Mark Andrews 8-112-1 Greg Olsen 6-75-2 “We definitely have to find an answer,” Kingsbury said Monday, a day after the Cardinals lost, 38-20, to the Panthers...

Christian Kirk hopes his childhood friend Kyle Allen has a great NFL career. He just didn’t want that upward trajectory to begin so soon. Allen, the former star quarterback at Scottsdale Desert Mountain High School, was fantastic against the Cardinals on Sunday, completing 19-of-26 passes...

The Cardinals had two deep shots that could have changed the complexion of the game. Wideout Christian Kirk couldn’t hold on to a beautifully thrown ball down the middle of the field that would have sent the Cardinals from inside their own territory into scoring position before the half. “I...

“They did a good job over there on offense,” Murray said. “They kept scoring and we didn’t.” The Cardinals have had their issues in the recent past with backup quarterbacks dealing a gut punch with a heralded starter out. In 2015, a superior Cardinals team lost in Pittsburgh to a duo of...

Alarm bells often sound when an NFL team goes winless through the first two weeks of the season, but there seems to be a more serene feeling in Arizona. The Cardinals have a tie instead of two losses, which helps, and the overall level of competitiveness has been a marked improvement from...

WITH CAM NEWTON OUT, KYLE ALLEN OFFICIALLY STARTS The worst-kept secret of the week became official Friday when the Panthers listed starting quarterback Cam Newton (foot) as out for Sunday’s game. Kyle Allen, who prepped at Scottsdale Desert Mountain High School and was a one-time college...

David Johnson And His Role The Cardinals need to find a way to activate David Johnson consistently. The first week, he started slow, as did the entire offense. But by the end of the game, he had quietly diced up the Lions for 82 rushing yards (4.6 yards an attempt) and another six catches for...

David Johnson couldn’t help but think of 2017’s season-ending dislocated wrist when he landed awkwardly on it Sunday against the Ravens. The Cardinals’ running back avoided serious injury, and now hopes the favorable injury news can pave the way to some better production on the field...

Murray is off to a terrific start as a rookie QB. It’s fair to wonder if he’d be in the same spot without Fitzgerald. The chemistry Fitzgerald and Murray share was apparent from the offseason and OTAs, and the relationship is already symbiotic. Murray hung in long enough for Fitzgerald to...
