  • Cardinals' Dennis Gardeck: Shifts to IR

    The Cardinals placed Gardeck (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Gardeck tore his ACL in the Cardinals' Week 7 win over the Chargers, so his shift to IR comes as no surprise. Arizona will now be without two of its top edge rushers in Gardeck and BJ Ojulari (knee) for the remainder of the season. Expect Julian Okwara and Xavier Thomas to both see increased work on the Cardinals' defense going forward.

  • Cardinals' Dennis Gardeck: Tears ACL, out for season

    Gardeck sustained a torn ACL during Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Gardeck exited the second half of the game with the injury, and with the edge rusher confirmed to have suffered ligament damage to his knee, he'll miss the rest of the season. Through Arizona's first seven games, Gardeck had notched three sacks to go with 22 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble. Julian Okwara is the most likely candidate to move into the starting lineup at outside linebacker in place of Gardeck.

  • Cardinals' Dennis Gardeck: Questionable to return

    Gardeck (knee) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Chargers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Gardeck suffered a knee injury in the second half of Monday's matchup and his status for the rest of the game is up in the air. In his absence, Julian Okwara is a candidate to see extra work at strong-side linebacker.

  • Cardinals' Dennis Gardeck: Past finger injury

    Gardeck (finger) practiced in full Thursday.

    Gardeck was limited in Wednesday's session due to a finger injury, but he appears to be good to go for Sunday's game against Washington. Gardeck has 10 tackles (eight solo), including 3.0 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble over his last two games.

  • Cardinals' Dennis Gardeck: Limited to open week

    Gardeck (finger) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Gardeck will have two more chances to practice in a larger capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders. He's accrued 10 tackles (eight solo), including 3.0 sacks, one pass defended, one interception and one forced fumble over his last two games.

  • Cardinals' Dennis Gardeck: Big day at linebacker

    Gardeck recorded six tackles, including 3.0 sacks, four tackles for loss and a forced fumble in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Rams.

    Gardeck loaded up the stat sheet as part of a dominant defensive showing by the Cardinals in Week 2. The 29-year-old earned a significant role last season for the first time in his six-year career, after primarily being a special-teams contributor. In his new role as a starter, the Sioux Falls product may be having a late-career breakout now that he's getting the opportunity to see the field more. He'll work to keep up the production in Week 3 against the Lions.

  • Cardinals' Dennis Gardeck: Will play Week 18

    Gardeck (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Gardeck was able to log back-to-back limited practice sessions to end the week and will suit up for the Cardinals' regular-season finale. The six-year linebacker out of Sioux Falls has set career highs this season in tackles (44) and sacks (6.0) over the first 16 games.

  • Cardinals' Dennis Gardeck: May miss regular-season finale

    Gardeck (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Gardeck didn't practice Wednesday, but he's followed that with a pair of limited sessions Thursday and Friday, giving him a chance to suit up Sunday. The veteran linebacker hasn't missed a game so far this season, and he's tallied 6.0 sacks among his 44 tackles (34 solo). If Gardeck isn't able to play this weekend, Victor Dimukeje (foot) and/or Ezekiel Turner could see more work in his stead.
