Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Draws first target of season
Rotowire
Weaver played 14 of the Cardinals' 67 snaps on offense and failed to corral his lone target in Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Active for just the second time all season, Weaver served as the Cardinals' No. 4 wideout while Zay Jones (concussion) was sidelined. The 24-year-old is in the midst of his second season in Arizona but has yet to record his first NFL reception. If Jones is able to clear concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Weaver could find himself back on the Cardinals' inactive list.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Starts week limited
Rotowire
Weaver (oblique) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Weaver didn't suit up for the Cardinals' season-opening loss to the Bills this past Sunday after failing to participate in any practices leading up to the contest. He was at least able to participate in a limited capacity Wednesday, which boosts his chances of making his NFL debut Week 2 against the Rams.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Could return Week 2
Rotowire
Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Monday that Weaver (oblique) is expected to be back on the field this week, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
After missing the Cardinals' Week 1 outing with an oblique injury, it appears Weaver is nearing a return to the field. The undrafted wideout from Colorado surprisingly made Arizona's 53-man roster after an impressive preseason, and he's expected to serve as a depth piece in the team's wide receiver room once he moves past his oblique issue.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Sits out practice
Rotowire
Weaver "nicked" his oblique, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon, and did not practice Monday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Weaver's injury comes at an inopportune time, as the 23-year-old was able to make the 53-man roster despite going undrafted out of Colorado. Likely aiding his inclusion on the active roster was the five-game suspension of Zay Jones for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Any missed time for Weaver could be lost opportunity with Jones on the sidelines. However, Weaver will work to get back on the field sometime this week ahead of the team's season opener Sunday against the Bills.

Xavier Weaver: Lands with Arizona
Rotowire
Weaver intends to sign with the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Weaver will get $255,000 guaranteed, according to Pelissero. After spending four years at South Florida, Weaver transferred to Colorado for his 2023 campaign and had his best statistical season with a 68-908-4 receiving line. He led the team in receiving and added a pair of rushing scores. Arizona used first- and sixth-rounds picks on wideouts Marvin Harrison and Tejhaun Palmer. Weaver will look to win a job this summer.
