That acknowledgement resonates with the players. “It’s part of the growing process, because we are still trying to find our identity as an offense,” tight end Charles Clay said. “That’s what good coaches usually do – they put the blame on themselves and pass out the credit. At the end of the...

GILBERT OUT AGAINST RAVENS, BUT CRABTREE EXPECTED TO PLAY Right tackle Marcus Gilbert (knee) will not play against the Ravens on Sunday, Kingsbury said, and the Cardinals worked out tackles on Monday as they explore their options at the position. Justin Murray started in Gilbert’s place...

The Lions had pretty good coverage on most of the passes but it didn’t matter. “He’s a Hall of Famer for a reason,” Lions defensive back Tracy Walker said. “He made a lot of great catches. I was in good position, but he just made a better catch. I can’t really do nothing about that.” Like...

This season, however, is ultimately about the installation of Kingsbury’s offense and the growth of Murray. It was hard to see Sunday’s game as anything but a microcosm of that narrative. Murray finished 29-of-54 for 308 yards, throwing an early interception that was forced along the sideline...

Tramaine Brock saw the path to the end zone and imagined the glory, but he forgot the football. The Cardinals’ cornerback had a chance for a game-winning interception in overtime on Sunday afternoon but a Matt Stafford throw slipped right through his fingers. Five seconds later, the game ended...

Mahomes won the league MVP in 2018 and Mayfield had a fantastic rookie season. Kyler Murray is aiming to follow in those footsteps after the Cardinals took him No. 1 overall in the draft to fulfill Kingsbury’s ideal quarterback vision. Murray showed impressive command of the offense in the...

It may not generate the headline of another NFL roster move that came Saturday, but the Cardinals made a change to their 53-man roster nonetheless. The Cardinals promoted tight end Darrell Daniels from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Lions...

The three biggest things to watch for Sunday when the Cardinals play the Lions at State Farm Stadium: Kyler/Kliff Combo Commences This is what the 2019 season boils down to, in so many ways. What Kyler Murray does at quarterback for the Cardinals, and what Kliff Kingsbury does not only...

FORMER LION WASHINGTON SET TO SEE THE TEAMMATES HE HAD A WEEK AGO The Cardinals could have used a special-teams ace, so they claimed safety Charles Washington off waivers last weekend. It just so happened that Washington had been cut by the Lions, and now he has a chance to play against his...

He doesn’t have a scheme people across the NFL are wondering about, and he doesn’t have the first pick in the draft playing on his side of the ball. Vance Joseph knows why the spotlight has been on the offense of the Cardinals, but the defensive coordinator has some unknowns himself that will...

A year ago, wide receiver Christian Kirk was still preparing for his first NFL game, and like a typical rookie, preferred to be seen and not heard. Larry Fitzgerald was the superstar of his position group, and Kirk dared not rock the boat. “I was quiet when I got in,” Kirk said. “He says...

The way to a man’s heart is supposedly through his stomach, but not for Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury. Even though cornerback Patrick Peterson bought ice cream for the entire team at the end of training camp, Kingsbury categorized it as a small recompense for the predicament the Cardinals...

“He is young but he has leadership qualities,” veteran guard J.R. Sweezy said. “We respect the heck out of him. “Everybody leads a different way, and we’re learning his way. It’s not vocal, and I love that part. I don’t need a ‘Hoo-rah’ guy. I actually really respect and like that side of...

As you can imagine, the public face of what the Cardinals want is going to be glass-half-full at least. Certainly, they want to make some noise and at this point, I would doubt they would say anything to contradict that. But in the end, I have said this since Kyler Murray was drafted -- if this...

The Cardinals have a third quarterback. No, Kliff Kingsbury isn't putting a third signal-caller to the 53-man roster -- it's was a practice-squad addition Tuesday -- but for now, Kyle Sloter is the guy whom Kingsbury will try to develop going forward while rookie Kyler Murray starts and Brett...

Their teams meeting, especially in the opener when Kingsbury hasn’t coached on this level, brings a level of intrigue. Kingsbury is considered an offensive savant. Patricia, meanwhile, “is one of the brightest minds in football,” Kingsbury said. “He’s like a nuclear physicist or something...

Cassius Marsh had his best year for the 49ers last season with 5½ sacks, before he was released in the spring, and then signed as a free agent with the Seahawks and spent the offseason and preseason as a starter before being cut this weekend to make room for the traded-for Jadaveon Clowney...

The offseason and preseason work over, the Cardinals officially had their first regular season practice Monday, yet there is still a mystery surrounding the offense that coach Kliff Kingsbury will unveil Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Whether that will be an advantage, Kingsbury...

The Cardinals bolstered their pass-rushing presence on Sunday by signing Cassius Marsh to a one-year deal. The veteran outside linebacker had five-and-a-half sacks a season ago for the 49ers and is expected to slot in as a rotational piece behind Chandler Jones and Terrell Suggs. To make room...
