Xavier Weaver Xavier Weaver Remains limited
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 9:06 PM
Weaver (ankle) was estimated to have logged a limited practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Weaver missed Arizona's Week 10 loss to the Seahawks with the same ankle issue. He practiced in limited fashion throughout the week, so it's unclear how much progress he has made. The Cardinals' receiving corps is beat up, as Marvin Harrison (appendectomy) has already been ruled out and both Zay Jones (Achilles) and Simi Fehoko (ankle) were placed on injured reserve this week. |

Andre Baccellia Andre Baccellia Signed to Arizona's active roster
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 6:53 PM
The Cardinals signed Baccellia from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
Analysis: Baccellia opted to stay in Arizona as a member of the team's practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2023, but his addition to the active roster comes after the Cardinals placed fellow wide receivers Zay Jones (Achilles) and Simi Fehoko (wrist) on injured reserve. With Marvin Harrison (appendix) ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers and Xavier Weaver (ankle) listed as questionable, Baccellia could play a meaningful role on offense in his 2025 regular-season debut. |

Simi Fehoko Simi Fehoko Placed on injured reserve
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 6:31 PM
Fehoko (wrist) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Fehoko suffered the injury in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Seahawks. He'll now be out until at least Week 15. The Cardinals' wide receiver corps has taken a significant hit recently, with Zay Jones (Achilles) out for the year and Marvin Harrison (appendectomy) out for at least Week 11. |

Michael Wilson Michael Wilson Poised for WR1 role in short term
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 6:08 PM
Wilson will take on the No. 1 WR role in the Cardinals offense for at least Sunday's game against the 49ers following Marvin Harrison's appendectomy Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Wilson is in sole possession of third in most receiving categories among Arizona's skill-position players behind TE Trey McBride and Harrison. With Harrison's 6.9 targets per game now up for grabs for the foreseeable future, Wilson stands to benefit along with Greg Dortch, Xavier Weaver (ankle) and Andre Baccellia. Wilson himself has averaged 10.5 yards per catch and 6.1 yards per target this season, so even with the expected bump in volume he may not produce enough on game days to be a consideration in many fantasy formats. |

Bam Knight Bam Knight Limited at walkthrough
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 5:56 PM
Knight (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Analysis: Knight and Emari Demercado have been splitting the majority of the RB snaps since the Cardinals' Week 8 bye, with both players earning 22 touches apiece over the last two games. Demercado has been far more effective with those reps, accruing 182 yards from scrimmage to Knight's 80 total yards. Knight exited this past Sunday's loss at Seattle with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter, and he likely will need to log a full session Thursday and/or Friday in order to avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the 49ers. |

Zay Jones Zay Jones Officially shifts to IR
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 11:53 AM
The Cardinals placed Jones (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Wednesday that Jones suffered an Achilles tear during Arizona's loss to the Seahawks in Week 10, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, meaning the veteran wideout is ruled out of the rest of the season. He now faces a difficult road to recovery ahead of the 2026 campaign. Jones inked a one-year, $4.4 million contract to remain with Arizona last March, so he's scheduled to hit free agency in the upcoming offseason. |

Marvin Harrison Marvin Harrison Out for Week 11 due to appendicitis
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 10:54 AM
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Harrison will miss Sunday's game against the 49ers after undergoing surgery to address appendicitis, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Gannon also indicated that Harrison could potentially remain sidelined longer than just Week 11, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With Harrison sidelined and Zay Jones (Achilles) having recently been placed on IR due to a season-ending injury, Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch and Xavier Weaver (ankle) are the remaining available options at wide receiver on Arizona's active roster. Expect the team to elevate at least one ofAndre Baccellia, Jalen Brooks and Tejhaun Palmer from the practice squad for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco. |

Simi Fehoko Simi Fehoko Expected to miss time with injury
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 6:09 PM
Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Fehoko is expected to "miss some time" due to a wrist injury he sustained against the Seahawks on Sunday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Fehoko was unable to return to Sunday's game after suffering a wrist injury in the second half, and the injury could be severe enough for him to be a candidate for injured reserve. The 2021 fifth-rounder has mostly been utilized on special teams this season, but his absence would be another blow to a Cardinals wideout corps that is also dealing with injuries to Zay Jones (Achilles) and Xavier Weaver (ankle). |

Zay Jones Zay Jones To be placed on IR
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 4:35 PM
Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Jones will be placed on injured reserve due to an Achilles injury, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Analysis: Gannon didn't specifically say that Jones tore his Achilles, but he'll miss at least the next four games as a result of the injury that he sustained during Sunday's loss at Seattle. Through eight appearances this season, Jones has hauled in 12 of 18 targets for 183 yards and no touchdowns. Greg Dortch figures to take on a larger role in Jones' absence. |

Marvin Harrison Marvin Harrison Inefficient with TD scored
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 9:46 PM
Harrison had three receptions on 12 targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Harrison matched his previous career mark of 12 targets set in Week 13 last season (5-60-1), but he was less efficient this time around with just three receptions to show. The Ohio State product still cashed in his fifth touchdown reception on the year, bumping his season receiving line up to 34-525-4 through nine starts. Look for QB Jacoby Brissett to continue feeding the rock to Harrison in a favorable matchup against the 49ers next Sunday. |

Emari Demercado Emari Demercado Goes for over 100 total yards
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 9:38 PM
Demercado took four carries for 64 yards while catching three of four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Bam Knight (ankle) started Sunday's contest and led Arizona's backfield with 10 carries before exiting late due to injury. Demercado was already having the more-productive day, although over half of his 100-plus yards from scrimmage came in garbage time. The TCU product could be in line to start against the 49ers next Sunday if Knight's injury proves to be serious. Demercado will also have to contend with the potential return of Trey Benson (knee) from injured reserve, but the former is currently the healthiest option out of Arizona's backfield heading into Week 11. |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Mixed results in blowout loss
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 9:05 PM
Brissett completed 22 of 44 pass attempts for 258 yards and two touchdowns while gaining 31 yards on four carries and losing two fumbles in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Brissett's improbable victory over the Cowboys was short lived after being greeted by the Seahawks with a 35-0 deficit in the first half. The veteran signal-caller salvaged his day by compiling stats in garbage time, producing his fourth-straight start of 250 or more passing yards with two touchdowns thrown. Brissett has great shot at extending his streak of fantasy production against an injury-riddled 49ers' defense next Sunday. |

Trey McBride Trey McBride Goes off against SEA
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 7:09 PM
McBride finished with nine receptions on 13 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: McBride turned in his finest performance of the year in the Cardinals' ugliest loss of the season. Most fantasy managers could care less about the game result after the stud tight end went off for his first 100-plus yard game of 2025. McBride continued his newfound prowess in the red zone with QB Jacoby Brissett under center, nabbing his fifth touchdown (sixth overall) in the four games the veteran backup has started. The 25-year-old McBride will look to continue feasting against an injury-riddled 49ers defense next Sunday. |

Simi Fehoko Simi Fehoko Done for day
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 6:11 PM
Fehoko (wrist) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Fehoko suffered a wrist injury in the second half, ultimately bringing his day to a premature end. The wide receiver didn't log any offensive stats before his departure. |

Bam Knight Bam Knight Picks up ankle injury in Week 10
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 6:08 PM
Knight sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's contest at Seattle.
Analysis: At the time he exited in the fourth quarter, Knight was pacing the Cardinals with 10 carries but accrued only 28 yards on those rushes. Plus, he had one catch (on four targets) for five yards and returned four kickoffs for 79 yards. Emari Demercado and Michael Carter are the remaining healthy running backs that are available on Arizona's active roster. |

Zay Jones Zay Jones Hurts Achilles on Sunday
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 4:45 PM
Jones won't return to Sunday's game at Seattle due to an Achilles injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones went to the turf after an incompletion in his direction in the middle of the second quarter, and trainers specifically were tending to his lower left leg. After he was carted to the locker room, Arizona announced the nature of the injury. Through eight appearances this season, Jones has 12 catches (on 18 targets) for 183 yards and no touchdowns. |

Xavier Weaver Xavier Weaver Won't play Week 10
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 1:36 PM
Weaver (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Analysis: An ankle issue limited Weaver in practice during Week 10 prep, and the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's NFC West tilt. Greg Dortch will serve as the Cardinals' primary returner on kickoffs and punts in Weaver's absence. |

Kyler Murray Kyler Murray Future in Arizona in limbo
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 8:27 AM
Murray, who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday due to a mid-foot sprain, is not expected to start again if he returns this season, "absent injury to Jacoby Brissett," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: While the Cardinals haven't explicitly indicated Brissett will remain their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, head coach Jonathan Gannon implied Tuesday that Brissett would have started Week 10 in Seattle even if Murray was fully healthy. The Cardinals then deactivated Murray a day later, and though he'll be eligible to return from IR beginning in Week 14, he looks like he could be ticketed for backup duties so long as Brissett stays healthy and continues to direct a productive offense. With that in mind, Rapoport suggests Murray may have played his last game with Arizona, potentially making the 28-year-old signal-caller a trade or cut candidate during the upcoming offseason. Murray is already fully guaranteed $36.8 million for 2026, and he'll be guaranteed an additional $19.5 million in base salary for 2027 if he remains on the roster through March 16. |

Michael Carter Michael Carter Joins active roster
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 3:55 PM
The Cardinals signed Carter from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Arizona used up its third and final elevation for Carter this past Monday at Dallas, only for him to log no snaps on offense or special teams despite being active. Emari Demercado (15 touches, 40 percent snap share) and Bam Knight (11 touches, 57 percent snap share) ended up splitting the backfield reps, and with Trey Benson (knee) still on injured reserve, such a breakdown likely will continue Sunday at Seattle. As a result, Carter currently doesn't hold much sway in terms of fantasy. |

Zay Jones Zay Jones Cleared to play this week
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 3:56 PM
Jones (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Seattle, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: He played through the same injury last week, handling a 52 percent snap share without seeing a target in the 27-17 win over Dallas. Jones should be fine to fill his usual role as the No. 3 WR in a TE-centric offense. |
