Top Cardinals News

  • Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Minimal impact in loss

    Higgins caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans.

    Higgins has struggled to contribute over the Cardinals' last four games, catching four of five targets for 20 yards during that span. The third-year pro has appeared in all 14 of Arizona's contests this season, catching 20 of 25 targets for 182 yards. Expect Higgins to contribute primarily as a blocker in the Week 16 matchup against the Falcons.

  • Cardinals' Jalen Brooks: Catches one pass vs. Texans

    Brooks caught one of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans. He also returned five kicks for 132 yards.

    The South Carolina product was elevated to the Cardinals' active roster and played a season-high 44 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss. In two games with Arizona, Brooks has caught three of six targets for 51 yards while tallying 198 kick-return yards. If Marvin Harrison (heel) is sidelined again in the Week 16 matchup against the Falcons, Brooks could return to the active roster.

  • Cardinals' Bam Knight: Believed to have sprain

    Knight (ankle) is set for an MRI after being carted off the field during Sunday's 40-20 loss to Houston, but he' believed to be dealing with a sprain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Knight appears to have avoided a severe injury, with league sources telling Schefter that the running back is nursing "a bad sprain," but that could still notably impact his availability for the last three weeks of the regular season. Emari Demercado and Michael Carter will be positioned as Arizona's clear backfield leaders if Knight misses any time, with James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) both already having been lost for the year. Knight's first opportunity to attempt to prove he's healthy enough to play in Week 16 against the Falcons will come during Wednesday's practice.

  • Cardinals' Chad Ryland: No FGAs in loss

    Ryland did not attempt a field goal and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 40-20 loss to Houston.

    Ryland went without a field-goal try for the first time since Week 10 and the third time overall this year. On the bright side, the kicker snapped his streak of four straight games with a field-goal miss. Ryland has now gone six games in a row with one or zero field-goal makes, and he'll look to be busier in Week 16 against the Falcons.

  • Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Finds end zone again in Week 15

    Wilson caught five of 11 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans.

    Once again, Wilson was one of Jacoby Brissett's favorite downfield options in a blowout loss. Marvin Harrison has missed four of the last five games due to appendicitis and a heel injury, and in all four of those contests Wilson has seen double-digit targets, posting a massive 41-499-3 line on 60 targets during Harrison's absences. Harrison is expected to return before the end of the year, but if he's out again in Week 16 versus the Falcons, Wilson will be a must-start fantasy asset.

  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Three touches in loss to Houston

    Demercado carried the ball once for one yard and caught two of three targets for zero yards in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans.

    Bam Knight (ankle) left the game early and didn't return, but Demercado still didn't see a significant increase in his workload, as Michael Carter instead stepped into the No. 1 role. Demercado was returning from a three-game absence of his own due to an ankle injury, which may have contributed to his limited touches. If Knight remains sidelined in Week 16 against the Falcons, Demercado could be a little more involved.

  • Cardinals' Michael Carter: Leading rusher in Week 15 loss

    Carter carried the ball 14 times for 56 yards and caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans.

    Bam Knight (ankle) was knocked out of the game early, leaving Carter to handle most of the work in the Arizona backfield, and he led the club in rushing yards while setting new season highs in touches, rushing yards and scrimmage yards. It's not clear if Knight will need to miss additional time, but Carter could be set for big volume once again in Week 16 against the Falcons. On the season, the fourth-year RB has 525 scrimmage yards and five total TDs in 12 games.

  • Cardinals' Trey McBride: Record-breaking effort Sunday

    McBride caught 12 of 13 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans.

    The 134 yards were a career high for McBride, while the two scores got him to 10 on the season, the first time he's reached double digits. Those milestones paled in comparison to the new NFL records for tight ends he set with the performance -- he's the first TE in history with consecutive 100-reception seasons, and he's caught at least five passes in 16 straight games, breaking the mark of 15 straight held by Travis Kelce. McBride almost certainly isn't done yet in 2025, either. With 105 catches and three games to go on the season, he has Zach Ertz's NFL tight-end record of 116 receptions firmly in his sights. McBride will look to take a step closer to that piece of history in Week 16 against the Falcons.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Three TDs not enough in Week 15

    Brissett completed 27 of 40 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans. He added six rushing yards on three carries.

    For the second straight game, the Arizona defense coughed up at least 40 points, letting another strong performance from Brissett go to waste. The three TDs -- two to Trey McBride and one to Michael Wilson -- were a season high for the veteran QB, but Brissett has tossed multiple scores in eight of the last nine games, posting an impressive 18:6 TD:INT since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6. Brissett will look to establish a new career high in passing TDs on the season in Week 16 against the Falcons.

  • Cardinals' Bam Knight: Won't return Sunday

    Knight (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Texans.

    Knight logged just one carry for minus-2 yards before exiting and being carted to he locker room in the first quarter. The 24-year-old has been serving as the Cardinals' top running back with James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) both out for the season. Over the last eight games prior to Week 15, Knight recorded 77 rushes for 260 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 21 catches (on 30 targets). His next opportunity to take the field will come Week 16 versus the Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 21. In Knight's absence, Emari Demercado and Michael Carter will carry the load at running back.

  • Cardinals' Cody Simon: Unable to continue Sunday

    Simon (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official sitereports.

    Simon exited the game in the first quarter of Sunday's Week 15 game with a knee injury and, after further evaluation, has been ruled out for the second half against the Texans. The 23-year-old has 46 tackles (19 solo) and one pass breakup in 12 games this season. Channing Tindall will get more reps with Simon out.

  • Cardinals' Andre Baccellia: Carted off field

    Baccellia (neck) was stretchered off the field during Sunday's game against the Texans and will not return, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Baccellia suffered a scary neck injury late in the second quarter, but the good news is that the 28-year-old wideout had full movement in his extremities. He's been taken to a local hospital to undergo further tests, and without Baccellia the rest of the day, Emari Demercado will likely serve as the Cardinals' primary returner on kickoffs.

  • Cardinals' Cody Simon: Exits with knee injury

    Simon (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Simon appeared to injure his left knee in the first quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Baron Browning and Akeem Davis-Gaither are the top candidates to work with the first-team defense for as long as Simon is sidelined.

  • Cardinals' Bam Knight: Suffers ankle injury

    Knight exited Sunday's game at Houston due to an ankle injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Knight had his left ankle pinned under a Texans defender as he was tackled to the turf early in the first quarter. Per Urban, Knight was carted to the locker room and soon after was deemed questionable to return. Michael Carter and Emari Demercado are left as the likeliest candidates to carry Arizona's backfield for as long as Knight is sidelined.

  • Cardinals' Christian Jones: Good to go vs. Houston

    Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Jones has been cleared to make his 2025 regular-season debut Sunday after he was activated from injured reserve Saturday. The 2024 fifth-rounder gives the Cardinals additional depth on the offensive line.

  • Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Good to go against Houston

    Nolen (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Nolen missed the Cardinals' last two games due to a knee injury, but he has been given the green light to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The rookie first-rounder's return means there will be less snaps available for fellow defensive tackles PJ Mustipher and Dalvin Tomlinson.
