Top Cardinals News

  • Cardinals' Evan Brown: Not playing Week 15

    Brown (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Brown will miss a second consecutive game while attending to a personal matter. Jon Gaines will likely stay on as the Cardinals' starting left guard for as long as Brown is out of action.

  • Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Ruled out Week 15

    Taylor-Demerson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Taylor-Demerson is slated to miss a fifth consecutive game due to an ankle injury, and there doesn't appear to be a clear timeline for his return, given his absence from practice since sustaining the injury. Taylor-Demerson's next chance to play is Week 16 against the Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 21, though he's unlikely to suit up for that game unless he's cleared to practice in at least a limited capacity.

  • Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Tagged as questionable Week 15

    Nolen (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    The rookie first-rounder was limited in practice during Week 15 prep, giving him a shot at returning Sunday from a two-game absence due to a knee injury. Nolen has played in just four of 14 regular-season games due to knee and calf injuries, and when he's played he has accumulated eight tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense and one fumble recovery.

  • Cardinals' Bilal Nichols: Won't play vs. Houston

    Nichols (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Nichols was unable to practice all week due to a knee injury that he sustained during the Cardinals' Week 14 loss to the Rams. Dante Stills and rookie third-rounder Jordan Burch are slated to see more rotational snaps at defensive end alongside Josh Sweat in Nichols' absence. Nichols will aim to progress enough in his recovery to return for Arizona's Week 16 tilt against Atlanta on Sunday, Dec. 21.

  • Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Ruled out for Week 15

    Weaver (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Weaver has not yet practiced in any capacity since he popped up on last Thursday's injury report with a hamstring issue. With Marvin Harrison (heel) also ruled out versus Houston, expect at least two of Jalen Brooks, Bryson Green, Tejhaun Palmer, Trent Sherfield or Steven Sims to be elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's contest.

  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Questionable for Week 15

    Demercado (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Demercado still hasn't logged a full practice since suffering a high-ankle sprain, but he's at least managed limited sessions for two weeks now, showing enough to be listed as 'questionable' after the past three weeks saw him ruled out Friday. Once he returns, Demercado figures to push Bam Knight and/or Michael Carter for playing time.

  • Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Added to injury report

    Higgins is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston after missing Friday's practice with an illness, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    He hasn't seen enough targets to warrant fantasy consideration, but Higgins has taken over more playing time recently due to Arizona's numerous WR injuries. Josiah Deguara and Pharaoh Brown could be tasked with larger roles if Higgins is declared inactive before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

  • Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Won't play Sunday

    Thompson (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Thompson logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Cardinals' week of practice due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. The Washington State product has appeared in all 13 of Arizona's games thus far, recording 81 total tackles, six passes defensed and one forced fumble. While he's out for Week 15, Kitan Crawford is expected to operate as one of Arizona's top safeties.

  • Cardinals' Max Melton: Remains out for Week 15

    Melton (heel) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Melton is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to a heel injury. The second-year pro from Rutgers downgraded from a limited practice session Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, suggesting his injury worsened throughout the week. Denzel Burke is expected to have a larger role in the Cardinals' secondary while Melton remains sidelined in Week 15.

  • Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Positioned as WR1 for Week 15

    Wilson will operate as Arizona's top wide receiver versus the Texans on Sunday, with Marvin Harrison (heel) ruled out, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Wilson has dominated across the three games Harrison has missed since Week 11, finishing with double-digit catches and over 100 yards receiving in all three of those contests. Versus the Rams in Week 14, Wilson tallied a 11-142-2 line on 16 targets, with almost all of quarterback Jacoby Brissett's production being split between himself and tight end Trey McBride. While Wilson now faces a rough road matchup against Houston, Wilson seems assured of massive target volume for as long as Harrison is sidelined, making it difficult to consider him anything less than a WR1 for fantasy purposes.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Expected to play again this year

    Harrison (heel) won't play Sunday at Houston, but Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that he expects the wideout to return this season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Harrison will miss a second straight game after suffering a heel injury Week 13, his first game back from appendicitis. He'll now have missed four of the past five games, without any practice participation since injuring his heel, but Gannon did say Friday that Harrison is "doing a lot better," per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com. In the meantime, Michael Wilson will lead Arizona's WR corps in a tough matchup this Sunday, with Andre Baccellia, Jalen Brooks, Trent Sherfield and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) being the other likely candidates for top-three roles. No. 2 TE Elijah Higgins also gets a boost in projected playing time with Arizona's WR room so depleted.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Missing second straight game

    Head coach Jonathan Gannon ruled out Harrison (heel) for Sunday's game in Houston, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Harrison didn't practice in any fashion this week and will miss his second straight game due to the heel issue, ultimately being sidelined for the fourth time in five games overall after he was out Weeks 11 and 12 while recovering from an appendectomy. With Harrison unavailable once again, wideout Michael Wilson and tight end Trey McBride should continue to command heavy target volume from quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who is averaging 43.1 pass attempts per game through eight starts.
