The #AZCardinals added DL Calais Campbell to the injury report with an illness, but he did not get a game status so he should be good to play. #AZvsDAL

Cardinals Aim To Reverse Identity Theft, And Saturday Before The Cowboys

As we come off the bye, a lengthy Saturday Before #AZvsDAL, with all kinds of #AZCardinals notes and thoughts like:

- Kyler missing a chance in Dallas
- Looming trade deadline
- Chance at some loooong FGs

QB Kyler Murray is officially questionable for the #AZCardinals against the #Cowboys after being limited again today.

Also questionable: CB Will Johnson, CB Garrett Williams, DL Walter Nolen III.

Jacoby Brissett To Get Third Straight QB Start For Cardinals Murray's foot not yet ready as team heads to Dallas

Kyler Murray is not yet healthy enough to start for the #AZCardinals, so Jacoby Brissett will be QB1 against the Cowboys on MNF. #AZvsDAL

Listening to Gannon talk about Murray, the "role" Kyler could have -- without being given specifics -- sounds like it would have to do more with if something happens to Brissett before the game, rather than in some sort of gadget/backup spot. #AZvsDAL

Gannon: Will Johnson will practice. CB limited with groin on Friday was Gannon being cautious.

Gannon said Bam Knight will be the β€œfirst one out there” at RB but the work will likely go to whichever back is most effective. Emari Demercado will play. Michael Carter expected to be elevated from practice squad. #AZvsDAL

Gannon: Brissett will start at QB Monday.

Kyler could β€œhave a role” Monday, depends on practice.

CB Will Johnson shows up on the #AZCardinals injury report as limited with a groin issue.

QB Kyler Murray (foot) remains limited. Other than Johnson, injury report stays the same. #AZvsDAL

Budda Baker for Halloween. Won’t wear it Monday but β€œhopefully I’ll play then like I look like today.”

Kyler Murray was throwing in open part of practice but it was to the backup pass catchers.

First #AZCardinals injury report for #AZvsDAL. Kyler Murray remains limited.

#AZCardinals OLB BJ Ojulari called his comeback path "hell, for real" in returning from his knee injury in August of 2024.

"A lot of people think I just tore my ACL but I tore two more ligaments in my knee. My process was very different."

Kyler Murray was scheduled to speak today but announcement was made that an #AZCardinals β€œquarterback” will be available later this week.

In addition to opening the 21-day practice window for LB BJ Ojulari, the #AZCardinals also:

Question: "Are you preparing (Kyler Murray) to start?"

Gannon: "Yeah."

#AZCardinals DC Nick Rallis, in assessing rookie DL Walter Nolen III practices since window opened, noted that he doesn’t look β€œtired or out of shape.” Notable as he nears a return to the field.

BJ Ojulari On The Edge Of Coming Off Edge Once Again Linebacker nears return to practice this week from knee injury

Jonathan Gannon’s revelation that OLB BJ Ojulari was returning to practice this week hit hard in Tuesday’s #AZCardinals news.

No injury report until Thursday for #AZCardinals. Kyler Murray getting in work (throwing to main pass catchers); Garrett Williams returns to practice. #AZvsDAL

Post-presser clarification: Ojulari window won't open until Thursday. Makes sense, because he will need a lot of that 21-day window, and #AZCardinals only have a partial practice today.

28.10.2025 17:42 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Gannon: RB Michael Carter and CB Darren Hall will be back today at practice. (Ed note: I would guess that means practice squad but they are still part of team.)

28.10.2025 17:34 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

#AZCardinals open 21-day practice window for CB Garrett Williams and LB BJ Ojulari to return from IR.

The Cardinals’ release of RB Michael Carter and CB Darren Hall from roster leaves two open spots. Noteworthy with Williams and DL Walt Nolen eligible to return.

Gannon a) reiterated again Kyler will be the QB when he is healthy but b) said it's too early to say for sure he'll be ready for the Dallas game after the bye. That is two weeks away.
