Jeremiyah Love Jeremiyah Love Will not play Sunday
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 1:37 PM
Love (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Love thus will miss the first game of his career due to the ankle injury that has bothered him in recent weeks. So far, the third overall pick in this year's draft is sitting on 3.7 yards per carry and has been targeted just 14 times through five contests. Head coach Mike LaFleur noted to Urban on Friday that Love will be used more in the passing game once he's able to adequately make cuts, which requires his current health concern to be a thing of the past. |

Jeremiyah Love Jeremiyah Love Another DNP on Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 6:41 PM
Love (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Love now has just one more chance to mix into drills this week Friday before the Cardinals potentially make a decision on his status for Sunday's game at the Rams. Considering head coach Mike LaFleur told Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic on Wednesday that the team wants to "get this ankle right and do it the right way," there's a chance that means missed games and not just missed practices for Love. In the event Arizona opts to sit Love this weekend, Tyler Allgeier will stand to step in as the lead runner, with Bam Knight in reserve. |

Jeremiyah Love Jeremiyah Love Not spotted Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 3:40 PM
Love (ankle) wasn't present at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: With back-to-back absences under his belt this week, Love may be in danger of missing the first game of his career Sunday at the Rams, especially after head coach Mike LaFleur told Mackie on Wednesday that the Cardinals want to "get this ankle right and do it the right way." What exactly that entails remains to be seen, but the team could make a ruling on Love's status for Week 6 as soon as it posts Friday's injury report. If Love is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, Tyler Allgeier is next in line to pace Arizona's backfield, with Bam Knight backing him up. |
Won't play against Rams
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 8:25 PM
Coach Mike LaFleur has ruled out Williams (concussion) for Sunday's game against the Rams, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Williams suffered a concussion during Arizona's contest in Week 5 versus the Lions, and he'll have to spend at least one game on the sidelines as he recovers. In his stead, 2024 fourth-rounder Dadrion Taylor-Demerson figures to continue to see an uptick in snaps at safety. |

Window opens Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 8:09 PM
The Cardinals opened Crawford's (ankle) 21-day practice window Wednesday.
Analysis: Crawford was a limited participant in his first practice back with the Cardinals. The safety was placed on IR after suffering a mid-ankle sprain in the team's Week 1 win over the Chargers. The Cardinals have until Nov. 4 to return the 24-year-old to the active roster, or he will be forced to spend the remainder of the 2026 season on injured reserve. |

DNP Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 7:43 PM
Wingard (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Wingard continues to miss practice with the knee injury he suffered in the Cardinals' Week 4 loss to the Giants. The free safety does not appear to have significantly progressed in his recovery since Week 5 prep, and it remains unclear when he will return to the field. |
Shawn Bowman Shawn Bowman Signed to active roster
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 5:44 PM
Bowman was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
Analysis: Bowman was signed to the Cardinals' practice squad ahead of Week 1. While the 26-year-old is now on the active roster, he's currently listed as the No. 4 tight end on the depth chart, meaning he isn't expected to see much action. |

Jeremiyah Love Jeremiyah Love Won't practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 4:05 PM
Love (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, as head coach Mike LaFleur said the Cardinals want to "get this ankle right and do it the right way," Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Love emerged from Week 4 at the Giants with an ankle injury, and while he was able to play through it this past Sunday against the Lions, he mustered just 12 carries for 22 yards and didn't haul in his only target. Considering LaFleur's comments were murky, it's unclear if Love's practice reps are the only thing that will be managed this week, or if the rookie running back is in danger of missing an actual game. Nonethelees, Love's status will be monitored closely as the week continues to get a sense of the overall situation ahead of Sunday's road matchup with the Rams. |
Reggie Virgil Reggie Virgil Serves as No. 4 wideout in Week 5
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 10:51 AM
Virgil recorded two receptions for 29 yards on five targets in Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: A healthy inactive for the first four games of the season, Virgil ended up suiting up for the first time after the Cardinals opted to hold Marvin Harrison out in Week 5 before trading him to the Texans shortly after Sunday's contest concluded. Virgil served as the Cardinals' No. 4 receiver, logging just 13 of 73 offensive snaps but seeing ample involvement during his limited time on the field. While the rookie fifth-round pick out of Texas Tech should be active for the Cardinals on a regular basis moving forward, he's likely to rank behind Michael Wilson, Trey McBride and Kendrick Bourne in the pecking order for targets. |
Jalen Brooks Jalen Brooks Slides up depth chart
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 10:43 AM
Brooks recorded two catches for 16 yards on seven targets in Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: After logging single-digit snaps in each of the Cardinals' first four games while drawing one total target, Brooks saw a substantial increase in playing time in Week 5. With the Cardinals opting to make Marvin Harrison inactive for the Week 5 contest, Brooks stepped into a regular role in three-receiver sets, taking the field for 39 of 73 offensive snaps. Arizona traded Harrison to Houston following the contest, which should clear the way for Brooks to continue seeing ample snaps moving forward. However, Brooks isn't expected to rank as a high priority in the passing game, with all of Michael Wilson, Trey McBride and Kendrick Bourne ahead of him in the pecking order for targets. |
James Conner James Conner May be close to practicing
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 2:00 PM
Conner (foot) is "getting close" to practicing, but the Cardinals aren't expected to open his 21-day evaluation window this week, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Analysis: Conner's 2025 season was cut short due to a right foot injury that he addressed with surgery, but he was cleared to take part in practices at the start of training camp. However, he didn't end up mixing into team drills at any point in August before the Cardinals placed him on injured reserve with a designation to return to begin the season. Though Conner has seemingly made progress in his recovery from the start of the season, the Cardinals are unlikely to rush him back into action with three other running backs (Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight) already on the 53-man roster. Gambardoro suggests that the Cardinals may be viewing Conner as more of an insurance policy in the backfield, and it's not out of the question for the veteran to get moved ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline if the team doesn't have a need for him once he's fully healthy. |
Tyler Allgeier Tyler Allgeier Three carries in blowout loss
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 7:32 PM
Allgeier rushed three times for seven yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards during Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Allgeier was on the field for 32 offensive snaps, but he only had five touches in the contest. In comparison, rookie running back Jeremiyah Love turned 12 carries into 22 yards over his 34 offensive snaps in the defeat. Allgeier has rushed 35 times for 119 yards and a touchdown while reeling in all 12 of his targets for 44 yards over five contests this season, and he remains a valuable insurance policy for fantasy managers with Love on their roster. |
Chad Ryland Chad Ryland Misses lone field goal vs. Detroit
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 11:46 AM
Ryland made all three of his extra-point attempts but missed his lone field-goal try during the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Ryland failed to connect on a 53-yard field goal early in the third quarter, and the miss set the Lions up at mid field and ultimately led to a 39-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Jameson Williams five plays later. Ryland has attempted one field goal or zero in three of Arizona's last four games, and both of his missed kicks this season have come from 50-plus yards. The Cardinals will travel to Los Angeles for a Week 6 NFC West showdown against the Rams on Oct. 18. |
Kendrick Bourne Kendrick Bourne Five catches in loss
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 9:48 PM
Bourne caught five of eight targets for 70 yards during Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Bourne led the team in receiving yards, while his five snags and eight targets ranked second behind tight end Trey McBride's nine catches on 10 targets. The wide receiver stepped into a more prominent role due to Marvin Harrison (traded) being inactive, and Bourne figures to operate as the team's clear No. 2 option behind Michael Wilson moving forward. |
Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Pads stats late in loss
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 8:39 PM
Brissett completed 29 of 47 passes for 292 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for 19 yards and a seven-yard reception on his only target in the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Brissett's final stat line was deceptively impressive and largely the byproduct of plenty of production amassed over the final two drives when Arizona was already down by more than three touchdowns. The veteran signal-caller capped off both of those possessions with scoring tosses to tight ends, connecting with Teagan Quitoriano (13 yards) and Trey McBride (nine yards). Brissett had previously recorded a two-yard scoring strike to Quitoriano back in the first quarter as well, and the former finished with a season high in passing yards and touchdown passes. Brissett next faces the tough challenge of the Rams' talented secondary in a Week 6 road matchup next Sunday. |
Michael Wilson Michael Wilson Limited by Lions in loss
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 8:23 PM
Wilson brought in four of seven targets for 30 yards and completed his only pass attempt for seven yards in the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Wilson wasn't able to approach his usual elevated numbers against a Lions defense that had struggled against the pass. The typically busy receiver still finished tied for third in targets and also slotted in third in receptions, but Wilson ultimately generated his second-lowest reception and receiving yardage tallies of 2026. Marvin Harrison was traded to the Texans earlier Sunday, so despite Wilson's quiet afternoon, fantasy managers now know Wilson will have one fewer competitor for targets from Jacoby Brissett moving forward. |

Jeremiyah Love Jeremiyah Love Stymied by Lions in loss
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 8:15 PM
Love rushed 12 times for 22 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Love's meager rushing yardage total actually led the Cardinals on the afternoon, and game script had essentially turned away from the run by halftime with Arizona already down 24-7 at that point. The rookie first-round pick was on the sideline by the final drive of the afternoon, and Love finished with a new career low in rushing yards. The downturn on the ground was particularly drastic when compared to Love's previous two games, when he'd gained 153 yards on 35 carries against the 49ers and Giants. Love and the Cardinals will have an uphill battle to bounce back in Week 6 as well, as Arizona pays a visit to the Rams next Sunday. |
Teagan Quitoriano Teagan Quitoriano Scores pair of touchdowns in blowout loss
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 7:49 PM
Quitoriano caught both of his targets for 15 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 45-21 loss to Detroit.
Analysis: Quitoriano entered Sunday having recorded just two receptions since the beginning of the 2023 campaign. The tight end made the most of his two chances in Week 5, reeling in a two-yard touchdown pass from Jacoby Brissett in the first quarter before later connecting with the quarterback again for a 13-yard score in the third quarter. Quitoriano's performance figures to be an anomaly, and he carries no fantasy value moving forward. |
Trey McBride Trey McBride Busy as usual in Week 5 loss
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 7:39 PM
McBride brought in nine of 10 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: McBride was in the familiar position of leading the Cardinals in receptions and targets, and he was narrowly second to Kendrick Bourne in receiving yards. The star tight end's touchdown reception was also a thing of beauty despite the fact it came when the game was completely out of reach, as McBride somehow secured the pass inbounds after tapping it twice to himself while swarmed by two defenders. McBride already has three nine-catch tallies in the first five games of the season, and he's also opened the campaign with five consecutive double-digit target totals. McBride has amassed 42 receptions in 2026, putting him well on pace for a third straight 100-catch season heading into a Week 6 home matchup against the Rams next Sunday. |

Dealing with concussion
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 5:18 PM
Williams suffered a concussion Sunday versus the Lions, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams took a blow to the head, and he will now be unavailable for the rest of Sunday's matchup. In his absence, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson is the most likely candidate to take over at free safety versus Detroit. |
