Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: In line to play Thursday
Love is slated to suit up for Thursday's preseason game in Las Vegas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
While rookie third-round pick Carson Beck played QB for over half of last Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Panthers, Love was kept on the sideline with the rest of the Cardinals' starters. Considering Love was the third overall pick in this year's draft, his higher standing comes as no surprise, but coach Mike LaFleur relayed Tuesday that the first-team offense will play one or two drives Thursday.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Will play Thursday
Coach Mike LaFleur said Tuesday that Brissett and the rest of the Cardinals' starters will play one or two possessions during Thursday's preseason game at Las Vegas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
LaFleur held out Arizona's starters in last Thursday's Hall of Fame Game versus the Panthers, but Brissett and the rest of the first-team offense are slated to get some run this week. Brissett will likely be throwing passes to the Cardinals' top skill-position talents, including rookie first-round RB Jeremiyah Love, WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson and TE Trey McBride.

Cardinals' Josh Sweat: Not likely to be traded
The Cardinals do not intend to trade Sweat (knee), Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Rumors about Sweat's potential departure from the team were swiftly shut down by general manager Monti Ossenfort on Monday. Between the star defensive end's minor knee injury and the Cardinals' projected standing in the NFC West for 2026, many thought Sweat would be a prime trade candidate as the team tries to recoup some capital and build for the future. However, Ossenfort's comments cast doubt on that possibility, and it therefore appears the star pass rusher is set to play out the 2026 season in Arizona.

Cardinals' Shawn Bowman: Signs with Arizona
The Cardinals signed Bowman to a contract Sunday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
Bowman's roster spot opened up after fellow tight end Kenny Yeboah (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Bowman is a third-year undrafted free agent out of Rutgers who has yet to participate in an NFL game. Yeboah's season-ending issue, as well as the absence of Tip Reiman (ankle), likely prompted the Cardinals' front offense to address the preseason depth at tight end.

Cardinals' Joey Blount: Lands on IR
The Cardinals placed Blount (neck) on injured reserve Saturday.
It's a tough blow for Blount, who injured his neck in Week 1 of last season and ended the year on IR. According to Howard Balzer of USA Today, Blount recently reinjured his neck during training camp, prompting this placement on injured reserve. He'll need to sit out the entire 2026 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with Arizona at some point.

Cardinals' Valentin Senn: Sees playing time in HOF Game
Senn (undisclosed) played 26 snaps on offense during the Cardinals' 33-30 loss to the Panthers in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.
Senn missed the entire 2025 season after being placed on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury. He's back with the Cardinals for training camp and is competing for a spot on the team's 53-man roster for the 2026 campaign.

Cardinals' Kenny Yeboah: Lands on IR
The Cardinals placed Yeboah (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
Yeboah injured his hamstring during the Cardinals' 33-30 loss to the Panthers in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game. The injury is severe enough for Yeboah to go on IR, which means he won't be eligible to play in 2026 unless an injury settlement is reached with Arizona. Yeboah has not seen NFL regular-season action since 2024 with the Jets and was battling for a depth spot on the Cardinals' 53-man roster prior to his season-ending injury.

Cardinals' Karson Sharar: Records four tackles in HOF Game
Sharar (hamstring) recorded four tackles (one solo) during the Cardinals' 33-30 loss to the Panthers in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.
Sharar played 52 snaps (32 on defense, 20 on special teams) during Thursday's exhibition game and finished tied for the fifth-most tackles on the Cardinals. The rookie sixth-rounder was dealing with a hamstring injury in the offseason that prevented him from participating in OTAs, but he has been cleared to participate in training camp practices. Sharar is battling for a rotational role at linebacker, though if he sees the field during his rookie season, most of his playing time will likely come on special teams.

Cardinals' Zach Carter: Nursing knee injury
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters Friday that Carter is dealing with a knee injury and that it "doesn't look great," Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
That's not good news for Carter, who entered training camp looking to earn himself a regular rotational role at defensive tackle behind Roy Lopez and Walter Nolen. Carter will undergo further tests to determine the severity of his injury, and it won't be surprising if he is ruled out for the Cardinals' preseason game against the Raiders on Thursday.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Gets involved before injury
Weaver (concussion) caught three of five targets for 31 yards during Thursday's 33-30 preseason loss versus the Panthers.
Weaver was second among Arizona receivers in targets in the preseason opener, but he finished out the day in concussion protocol. He is a legitimate candidate to earn a depth role among Cardinals receivers in 2026 provided he can get back on the field in good time.

Cardinals' Simi Fehoko: Scores in preseason opener
Fehoko caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown during Thursday's 33-30 preseason loss versus the Panthers.
Fehoko took advantage of his length (6-foot-4) to beat cornerback Corey Thornton (6-foot-1) on a fade route in the middle of the second quarter for Arizona's second score of the day. Arizona didn't make any huge moves at wide receiver during the offseason, so Fehoko has a real shot to make the opening 53-man roster in 2026.

Cardinals' Corey Kiner: Finds paydirt Thursday
Kiner recorded 14 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 33-30 preseason loss versus the Panthers. He also logged two catches for nine yards.
Kiner opened the scoring in the first exhibition of the preseason with a one-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter. He also led both teams in carries while maintaining decent efficiency. Whether he makes the cut for Arizona's initial 53-man roster could depend somewhat on the health of veteran James Conner (foot).

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Dealing with concussion
Weaver is in concussion protocol after Thursday's preseason game versus the Panthers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Weaver presumably suffered the concussion during the Hall of Fame Game, and there's no word yet on when he'll be available again. In the meantime, rookie fifth-rounder Reggie Virgil and free-agent acquisition Devin Duvernay could get a bump up in the receiver rotation.

Cardinals' Reggie Virgil: Team-high catch total in defeat
Virgil secured five of six targets for 66 yards in the Cardinals' 33-30 preseason loss to the Panthers on Thursday.
The rookie fifth-round pick led the Cardinals in receptions and targets while finishing second in receiving yards on the night to Jalen Brooks. Virgil is battling Brooks and veterans such as Devin Duvernay and Simi Fehoko for a spot on the latter portion of the wide-receiver depth chart, and Virgil got his quest off to an excellent start Thursday. Given the promise he showed, Virgil should continue seeing plenty of snaps in the Cardinals' preseason game on the road against the Raiders next Thursday.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Impressive to open preseason
Knight rushed 12 times for 60 yards in the Cardinals' 33-30 preseason loss to the Panthers on Thursday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
The journeyman back is looking to run it back with the Cardinals after making a positive impression during an injury-riddled 2025 for the Arizona backfield. Knight started Thursday's game and saw action into the first drive of the second half, fumbling at the end of his longest run of the night -- 15 yards -- late in the second quarter but falling back on the ball. Knight finished as the team leader in rushing yards, but he figures to have an uphill battle to stick on the final roster in a very crowded running back room headlined by rookie first-round pick Jeremiyah Love along with Tyler Allgeier, James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson.
