Cardinals | Marvin Harrison Jr. to practice Wed Dec 17, 12:36 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) will practice Wednesday, Dec. 17. The practice will just be a walkthrough.
| Footballguys view: Let's see what Harrison looks like later in the week. If he returns to the field in Week 16, it dings the fantasy value for Michael Wilson. Harrison against the Falcons is a potentially juicy matchup, but we could only recommend him as a WR3/flex option if he plays. |
Cardinals | Bam Knight to miss remainder of 2025 Tue Dec 16, 04:10 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Bam Knight (ankle) was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Tuesday, Dec. 16.
| Footballguys view: The team will now rely on Michael Carter, who had a decent game in place of Knight in Houston, rushing for 54 yards on 14 carries, while also assisting as a pass blocking back. Emari Demercado could also play a greater role in his second game back from a sprained ankle, but Carter will be front and center. |
Cardinals | Two receivers return to practice squad Mon Dec 15, 06:03 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Jalen Brooks and WR Trent Sherfield reverted back to the practice squad Monday, Dec. 15, after being on the active roster for Week 15.

Cardinals | Bam Knight has a bad sprain; RB unlikely to play Week 16 Mon Dec 15, 10:01 AM
Cardinals RB Bam Knight, who was carted off Sunday with an ankle injury, suffered what is being described as "a bad sprain," but nothing is broken. Knight will undergo an MRI today to confirm the diagnosis. He is unlikely to play this week.
| Footballguys view: As we noted immediately after this injury, Michael Carter got the vast majority of the work in the backfield after Knight went out. He was productive enough against an elite Texans defense to merit a waiver pickup with a more manageable matchup against the Falcons coming up in Week 16 -- although Emari Demercado could play a greater role in his second week back from his ankle injury. |
Cardinals | Budda Baker, Garrett Williams busy in Week 15 Sun Dec 14, 08:38 PM

Cardinals | Trey McBride goes off in Week 15 Sun Dec 14, 08:26 PM
Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride posted 12 receptions for 134 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets in Week 15 against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: McBride reached the 100-catch mark and 1,000 yards for back-to-back seasons, something not even Travis Kelce has done. In addition to catching Arizona's first two TD passes of the game, 97 of McBride's 134 yards came after the catch, and he now has the longest streak of games with five or more receptions by a tight end in NFL history with 16, passing Kelce (15) on the all-time list. As NFL.com suggested, Arizona's offense figures to look different in multiple respects next season, but the one thing you can absolutely count on is McBride being a centerpiece. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett throws three TDs Sun Dec 14, 08:08 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 27-of-40 passes for 249 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 15 against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, the three TDs -- two to Trey McBride and one to Michael Wilson -- were a season high for the veteran QB, but the success is only surprising because it came against a tough Houston defense. Brissett has tossed multiple scores in eight of the last nine games, posting an impressive 18:6 TD to INT ratio since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6. Brissett will look to establish a new career high in passing TDs on a season in Week 16 against the Falcons. |

Cardinals | Bam Knight unable to return Sun Dec 14, 05:59 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Bam Knight (ankle) rushed once for minus-2 yards in Week 15 against the Houston Texans before leaving in the first quarter with an ankle injury. He was unable to return.
| Footballguys view: Michael Carter got the vast majority of the work in the backfield after Knight went out. He was productive enough against an elite Texans defense to merit a waiver pickup with a more manageable matchup against the Falcons coming up in Week 16. |
Cardinals | Andre Baccellia suffers neck injury Sun Dec 14, 05:56 PM
Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals WR Andre Baccellia (neck) suffered a neck injury in Week 15 against the Houston Texans on a kick return. He was immobilized and carted off, but he was alert with full movement in all of his extremities. He was taken to a Houston-area hospital for further evaluation. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Sunday, Dec. 14 that he expects Baccellia will fly home with the team.
| Footballguys view: Baccellia has played 18 career games since entering the NFL in 2020 as an undrafted free agent. He has mainly been a practice squad player for the Cardinals, who signed him in 2021. Injuries have earned him snaps on offense at times, but he's not a viable fantasy candidate. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett topping the charts Sat Dec 13, 12:30 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett ranks first in the NFL in passing yards, completions and pass attempts since taking over as the starter in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Things look so much different for the Cardinals' offense with Brissett running the show. Brissett completed 25-of-44 attempts for 271 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the Cardinals' Week 14 loss against the Rams. This week, he'll face another aggressive defense in the Houston Texans. Entering his age-34 season in 2026, Brissett is under contract through next season. |

Cardinals | Emari Demercado questionable for Week 15 Fri Dec 12, 04:19 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Demercado has been out since Week 11. In his absence, the Cardinals have split touches fairly evenly between Bam Knight and Michael Carter. If Demercado returns, he could take a solid share of the passing-down work, giving him some potential for future fantasy value. Still, most managers should take a wait-and-see approach this week and hope for more clarity heading into Week 16. If Demercado sits again, both Knight and Carter warrant RB3 consideration. |
Cardinals | Marvin Harrison Jr. out Fri Dec 12, 12:01 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is out for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Harrison will miss his second straight game with the heel injury he suffered in Week 13. In his absence, Michael Wilson has seen elite volume and produced at a high level. He'll have his work cut out for him this week against Derek Stingley and a stout Texans' defense. Still, he makes for a high-end WR2. |

Cardinals | Marvin Harrison Jr. not seen at practice Thu Dec 11, 02:11 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) was not seen at practice on Thursday, Dec. 11.
| Footballguys view: That's two DNPs for Harrison to start this week. He missed Week 14 with this heel injury, and Harrison is likely to miss the game against the Texans in Week 15. That makes Michael Wilson a WR2/flex option against a tough Houston defense. |
Cardinals | Emari Demercado limited in practice Wed Dec 10, 06:43 PM

| Footballguys view: Harrison had to miss Week 14, and it looks like another game may have to be missed. Michael Wilson has WR2 (with upside) potential if Harrison is out of action against the Texans in Week 15. |

Cardinals | Trey Benson's season over Wed Dec 10, 11:54 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) will remain on the Reserve/Injured list for the rest of the season.
| Footballguys view: Benson's season is done after suffering this knee injury in October. He should be ready to go sometime in the offseason and at the very latest in training camp next year. Benson should be in line for lead back duties in the Cardinals' backfield, but who knows what the quarterback situation will look like. |

Cardinals | Michael Wilson delivers WR1 output for fantasy investors Sun Dec 7, 09:26 PM
Cardinals WR Michael Wilson caught 11 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Josh Weinfuss suggested, all Wilson does when he's WR1 is go for 100 yards. On Sunday, with Marvin Harrison Jr. out with a heel injury, Wilson put up 37.2 fantasy points, leaving him as WR1 through Sunday's late-afternoon games. That's the third time he's been a WR1 and had 100 yards this year. The Cardinals will face a tough test in Week 15 when they take on the Texans. |
