Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday ahead of the team’s Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Love has missed Arizona’s last two games because of an ankle injury that has troubled him since before the 2026 regular season began. The third overall pick in the […]

Seven weeks into the 2026 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams remain an enigma. After a surprising loss to the 49ers on an international road trip, they fell to playoff‑bound foes Denver, Buffalo and Arizona, while their only wins came against a battered Giants, an injury‑hit Eagles squad and a struggling Raiders team. Injuries have shuffled the quarterback room from Jaxson Dart to Jameis Winston to JJ McCarthy, and key playmakers have missed time. With a daunting stretch looming – Green Bay before Thanksgiving, then the Chiefs, 49ers, Cowboys and Seahawks – the Rams' true identity won’t emerge until the season’s final stretch, possibly after the bye week brings back players like Myles Garrett and Davante Adams.
Gridiron Experts breaks down the final fantasy‑football trade window, highlighting low‑priced buy targets and overvalued sell‑offs for weeks 8‑14. The article warns against early‑season impulse trades like a Sam LaPorta‑Matthew Golden for Saquon Barkley swap and points to players whose workload exceeds their points: Chase Brown (CIN RB), Ollie Gordon II (MIA RB), DeVonta Smith (PHI WR) and Michael Wilson (ARI WR). Each prospect includes role, injury and depth‑chart context, plus timing tips around bye weeks. Readers learn which high‑volume backs and WRs to snag now and which underperformers to cash out before the deadline.
Here is the Cardinals' injury report ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
Sean McVay confirms that defensive end Myles Garrett and rookie Terrance Ferguson remain on injured reserve and will not practice this week, delaying any chance they can join the 53-man roster before the 21‑day practice window closes. Both players must be activated within that period or be season‑ended, but the Rams have yet to open the window. With three games left before a Week 11 bye—against the Chargers, Commanders and Cardinals—their return likely targets Week 12 versus Green Bay. Meanwhile, veteran receiver Davante Adams is recovering faster than expected from hamstring surgery.
49ers 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey said his thigh issue from Sunday won’t be a concern going forward. “I’ll be fine. I’m not worried about it,” McCaffrey said, via NBC Sports. “It just sucks to me because that was one of those ones where I just felt like I could have got going . . . […]

The Dallas Cowboys looked like they overused wide receiver George Pickens on Monday Night Football. Now he’s dealing with an NFL injury alongside safety Caleb Downs. Both on the eve of their Sunday showdown with the Arizona Cardinals too. Pickens has a shoulder and hamstring ailment, limiting him in practice Wednesday. The rookie defender Downs, […]

After a win over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys head into a potential trap game against the Arizona Cardinals with several key players sidelined. Linebacker Dee Winters (calf) and return specialist KaVontae Turbin (ribs) are listed as DNP for Wednesday’s practice, while Caleb Downs, Quinnen Williams, George Pickens and Drew Shelton participated only limitedly. Marist Liufau and P.J. Locke are fully active and may be activated from IR this week. If Turbin remains out, Tyler Goodson will handle kickoffs and Jonathan Mingo will return punts.
Ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, the Chicago Bears are reportedly targeting multiple defensive players. ESPN insiders note interest in former Bear Khalil Mack (Los Angeles Chargers), DE Josh Sweat (Arizona Cardinals), and Titans' DE Jermaine Johnson II, while cornerback Alontae Taylor, a former teammate of DC Dennis Allen, emerges as a top corner option. The Bears also gauge interest in Jets' former Pro Bowler Nahshon Wright and scout D‑tackles Daron Payne (Washington) and Grover Stewart (Indianapolis). Coach Ben Johnson confirms GM Ryan Poles is “turning over every stone” to improve the roster. The article lists several league-wide sellers, suggesting a busy deadline for Chicago.

49ers 49ers released DB Jack Jones. 49ers traded a 2027 fourth-round pick to the Colts for DT DeForest Buckner. Bills Bills designated WR Tyrell Shavers to return from the PUP list.

The Arizona Cardinals sit at 2‑5 and rank last in red‑zone efficiency (42.9%) despite a new Mike LaFleur offense. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, with a 3‑16 record as a starter in Arizona, posts solid completion rates (65%‑73%) but the unit averages only 20.3 points per game and lacks long passing plays—zero completions beyond 40 yards. Heavy pass volumes (up to 52 attempts) highlight a nonexistent running game, allowing defenses to pressure the pass. While tight end Trey McBride and receivers like Michael Wilson are productive, the offense stalls inside the 20‑yard line, forcing kicker Chad Ryland to shoulder scoring duties. The article asks whether the Cardinals should bench Brissett to spark a turnaround before the season’s final ten games.
Bears Jordan Schultz reports the Bears were interested in Colts DT DeForest Buckner before he was dealt to the 49ers, his former team that drafted him. He adds Chicago is looking to add defensive help at the trade deadline. Schultz and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler note Chargers OLB Khalil Mack continues to be a natural fit if […]

The Arizona Cardinals announce two roster moves: offensive lineman Kingsley Eguakun is promoted from the practice squad to the active roster, and veteran wide receiver Zay Jones (31) returns to the team on the practice squad. Jones, a former Cardinal who logged 20 catches for 267 yards in two seasons with Arizona and totals 307 receptions for 3,295 yards and 18 TDs over nine years, will wear #9 and should need a few weeks to get back into shape. Eguakun’s role remains unclear, but the team hopes he can provide depth on the line.
The Denver Broncos are weighing the Week 8 return of cornerback Pat Surtain II and safety Talanoa Hufanga as they gear up to host Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Both DBs missed the 30‑16 win over Arizona with ankle injuries—Surtain has been in rehab since Week 4, and Hufanga is entering his third week of a two‑to‑three‑week recovery. Neither is officially cleared, but their potential comeback coincides with the Chiefs rebounding from a 20‑3 loss to Seattle, where Mahomes threw an interception. The Broncos‑Chiefs clash airs Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS.
The Arizona Cardinals officially promoted OL Kingsley Eguakun from the practice squad to the active roster and signed WR Zay Jones to the practice squad, per Darren Urban of the team’s site. Eguakun, 25, was a three-year starter at Florida and was invited to both the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl. He signed on with […]
The post Cardinals Announce Two Roster Moves appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
Week 8 fantasy QB picks are shaping up as managers weigh volume versus upside. Start Jacoby Brissett (Cardinals) against the Cowboys – his 48‑pass effort in Week 7 and Dallas’ permissive secondary make him a top‑12 option despite limited rushing. Kyler Murray (Vikings) earns a start versus Detroit thanks to 90 rushing yards over two games and a Lions defense that struggles against quarterbacks. Tanner McKee (Eagles) steps in for an injured Jalen Hurts and could thrive against Washington’s weak pass rush with targets like Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith. Bench options include Lions’ Jared Goff, who faces a tough Vikings defense, and other quarterbacks with difficult matchups or low pass attempts.
The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly demanding a high Day‑2 draft pick for veteran pass rusher Josh Sweat, who requested a trade after head coach Jonathan Gannon was fired. Sweat, under contract through 2028, posted 12 sacks in 2025 but has only two through seven games this season. Teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers are linked to a potential deal. Trading him could net valuable draft capital, yet would leave Arizona short on pass‑rush production.
The Arizona Cardinals’ season is taking shape as many expected. A measly 2-5 start leaves Arizona sitting at the bottom of the NFC West. Entering 2026, Arizona had the toughest schedule, but their dysfunctional performances have left fans with no hope. Arizona must love playing against the city of Los Angeles. The Cardinals secured an […]

The Daily Norseman breaks down the broadcast coverage map for this Sunday’s NFC North showdown between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions. Most of the northern U.S., parts of New England, and even Alaska will see the game on FOX, highlighted in red, with the network pitching it as the week’s top matchup by assigning its #1 crew—Kevin Burkhardt and former quarterback Tom Brady. The map also shows overlapping CBS double‑header games, like the Chargers‑Rams, affecting markets such as Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The article notes other regional pairings (Arizona‑Dallas, Las Vegas‑Jets, Atlanta‑Tampa Bay) and invites comments on the odd market allocations.
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 8 fantasy worksheet pits the Arizona Cardinals against the Dallas Cowboys, highlighting a -6.5 spread and a 30.5 implied total. The Cowboys lead the league with 6.9 plays per possession and convert 74.1% of red‑zone trips to touchdowns, while Arizona struggles, ranking last in passing yards allowed (8.5 per attempt) and red‑zone efficiency (42.9%). Dak Prescott is flagged as a high‑upside QB, averaging 24.3 fantasy points in 30‑plus‑point home games, whereas Cardinals starter Jacoby Brissett offers volume‑based upside for streaming. The data‑rich worksheet includes detailed drive, play‑type and efficiency metrics for both teams.
Maxx Crosby cannot keep carrying the Las Vegas Raiders’ pass rush alone. If opposing offenses can neutralize him by throwing extra blockers his way, the Raiders need someone capable of making them pay. Enter Josh Sweat, the Arizona Cardinals’ proven edge rusher and a potentially transformative trade target. Las Vegas has already shown enough early-season […]

The Dallas Cowboys’ defense, though imperfect, limits the Philadelphia Eagles to 21 points in a 28-21 victory on Oct. 28, 2026. After surrendering two early touchdowns, the unit tightens up, forcing three punts and a crucial interception by DeMarvion Overshown. Key contributors include Overshown (six tackles, one pick), Shemar James (tied for team‑lead in tackles), Quinnen Williams (three TFLs, one sack) and Donovan Ezeiruaku (first full sack). Advanced metrics show the Cowboys posting their best -0.05 EPA/play allowed this season, while the Eagles struggle with a 38.7% success rate. The defense earns a C grade and the Cowboys look ahead to a matchup with the Cardinals.
The Philadelphia Eagles need a jolt, and that’s saying something. Now, few moves would send a stronger message than bringing Josh Sweat back to the City of Brotherly Love. At 2-5, Philadelphia is watching its season unravel. Injuries, defensive breakdowns, and mounting losses are threatening to turn a championship-caliber roster into a cautionary tale. General […]

Bleacher Report analyst Alex Kay says the Buffalo Bills could shock the league by acquiring Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker before the trade deadline. Baker, a 30‑year‑old eight‑time Pro Bowler and four‑time All‑Pro on a $54 million contract, would address Buffalo’s porous secondary, which ranks 30th in scoring defense and allows the league’s second‑most passing yards per game. Kay proposes Buffalo send a 2027 third‑round pick, though the Cardinals may demand more to offset Baker’s $20.9 million 2027 cap hit. The trade would also free up $3 million in dead money for Arizona.
