Cardinals hope to avoid longest home losing streak in franchise history

The Arizona Cardinals were one of the charter members of the NFL. And from the Racine Cardinals to the Chicago Cardinals to the St. Louis Cardinals to the Phoenix Cardinals to the Arizona Cardinals, they’ve never lost nine straight home games. A loss later today to the Lions will be the first time in franchise history that the Cardinals have lost nine straight home games. Via NBC Sports research, they’ve previously lost eight in a row from 1942 through 1945 (at Comiskey Park) from 1958 through 1958 (also at Comiskey Park) and from 2021-22, in their current home venue. The Cardinals last won at home on September 14, 2025, with a 27-22 victory over the Panthers. The streak began on Thursday, September 25, in a loss to the Seahawks

Tyler Allgeier Gets a Boost From Cardinals Depth Chart

Tyler Allgeier gets a boost from Arizona Cardinals depth chart

Tyler Allgeier Could Be Workhorse in Week 1

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier could see a substantial workload in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. In 2025, Allgeier had 157 attempts for 610 yards and eight touchdowns with the Atlanta Falcons. Now in Arizona, Allgeier is expected to split carries with sensational rookie Jeremiyah Love, the third-overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, with Love dealing with a high-ankle sprain from the opening preseason game and reportedly 50/50 to play in Week 1, Allgeier could see a workhorse role with James Conner (ankle) on injured reserve. He faces a tough Chargers defense, which ranked sixth-best against running backs last season. Workhorse running backs on the waiver wire should be added immediately, and Allgeier should be rostered in all formats

Cardinals place James Conner on IR among their moves to 53

The Cardinals reached 53 players on Sunday afternoon. Their moves included placing running back James Conner on injured reserve with a designation to return. He will miss at least the first four games before returning to game action as he works his way back from last season’s ankle injury. The Cardinals also announced the release of 2023 second-round pick linebacker BJ Ojulari, who has not been the same since a serious training camp knee injury in 2024. Eku Leota made the team over Ojulari. Veteran cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting was also released, a sign that slot starter Garrett Williams is nearing his return. Williams was recently removed from the active/PUP list after coming back from an Achilles injury. The Cardinals kept three quarterbacks for the first time in a long time, with Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew II and Carson Beck making the roster. The Cardinals released or waived LB Eugene Asante, S Devyn Bobby, TE Shawn Bowman, LB Elliott Brown, P Jack Browning, S Hudson Clark, CB Elijah Culp, OL Ka’ena De Cambra, TE Rivaldo Fairweather, DL Cam Horsley, RB Evan Hull, OL Demontrey Jacobs, OL Christian Jones, CB Elijah Jones, CB Kalen King, DL Brodric Martin-Rhodes, CB Quinton Newsome, S Isaiah Oliver, LB Owen Pappoe, OL Matt Pryor, TE Teagan Quitoriano, LB Cam Robertson, OL Valentin Senn (expected international exemption), QB Kedon Slovis, WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette, DL Kevion’ta Spears, RB Tre Stewart, CB Starling Thomas V, OL Oli Udoh, WR Tre Wallace, DL Damonic Williams and DL Jonah Williams. Like Conner, defensive lineman Zach Carter (knee) was placed on IR with a designation to return. Tight end Tip Reiman will begin the season on reserve/PUP. Safety Josh Minkins was waived with an injury designation

Cardinals unsure if James Conner will be ready for Week 1

The Cardinals are uncertain if veteran running back James Conner will be ready for Week 1 against the Chargers as he continues to recover from a foot injury. Conner's practice participation has been limited this summer, and while he is making progress, his availability for the opener remains in doubt. If Conner and Jeremiyah Love (ankle injury) are unable to play, Tyler Allgeier would be the lead back

Cardinals Waive Trey Benson

The Arizona Cardinals waived running back Trey Benson (knee) with an injured designation on Monday in order to make room on the roster for linebacker Josh Sweat, who was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to Darren Urban of the team's official website. Benson, a former third-rounder in 2024 from Florida State, only played in four games last year due to a season-ending left-knee injury, and he had recently missed time in training camp with more issues with the same knee. In two seasons in Arizona, Benson played in just 17 total games and racked up 451 yards on 92 carries, averaging 4.9 yards per attempt. Another NFL team will probably have interest in adding Benson to their RB room, but only if he can get over his left-knee issues. Going forward in Arizona, the Cardinals head into the 2026 season with Tyler Allgeier, rookie first-rounder Jeremiyah Love (ankle), and veteran James Conner (foot) as their top-three RBs

Jeremiyah Love injury update: Cardinals rookie has high ankle sprain, team hoping for Week 1 return

Jeremiyah Love looked as advertised and then some in his preseason debut. The only problem? He didn't emerge from it healthy. The No. 3 overall pick suffered a high ankle sprain on his final touch of the night and is unlikely to play again this preseason, leaving the Cardinals hopeful he can return for a Week 1 contest against the Chargers on Sept. 13, per ESPN's Adam Schefter . Here's a look at the injury, which came late in the second quarter: the more you watch the tackle, the worse it looks with Jeremiyah Love's feet getting pinned https://t.co/HL11rW87y5 pic.twitter.com/FiYepEXS6c After the game, first-year coach Mike LaFleur said Love "could have returned" and expected him to return in time to practice this week. But on Saturday, two days after the game, LaFleur said Love would not practice this week or play in Week 2 of the preseason against the Cowboys , per AZ Central's Theo Mackie . In fact, LaFleur did not commit to the former Notre Dame star even being available for Week 1 of the regular season, which is still nearly a month away. "He came in yesterday a little bit more sore than he left," LaFleur said . "He was in great spirits, even yesterday. ... We'll keep him out this week as we let it heal. So a little bit more than we were anticipating." When he was playing, Love looked terrific, amassing 72 yards from scrimmage on 14 touches. His explosiveness and agility jumped off the screen. Every Touch From Jeremiyah Love’s NFL Debut. 11 CAR, 3 REC, 73 Total YDS. https://t.co/ymmjgrZ4El pic.twitter.com/lSs48WuhFY The Cardinals signed Tyler Allgeier this offseason, and he has been the clear-cut top backup to Love. Arizona still has veteran James Conner and 2024 third-rounder Trey Benson, as well as journeyman Bam Knight and several others. Both Conner (returning from a severe foot/ankle injury) and Benson (knee "flare-up") have been dealing with injuries in the preseason. It's a fair question. Love started and played until there were just seconds left before halftime. Love's 14 touches were by far the most of any rookie drafted in the first four rounds. His 23 offensive snaps were second-most of any first-round rookie skill position player, only Browns wide receiver KC Concepcion (24). After the game, LaFleur said he had planned before the game to get Love double-digit touches and concluded with "I like where he was at with the touches." One day later, of course, LaFleur learned Love's prognosis wasn't as promising as it seemed and then explained why, in his mind, it was important for Love to explain so much. “It’s a rookie that hadn’t played.” Arizona Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur on why Jeremiyah Love played as much as he did in his preseason debut. pic.twitter.com/Xp3WfkKrwy This is a miss for LaFleur, especially considering every other offensive starter had already left the game. Jacoby Brissett , his top targets ( Trey McBride , Marvin Harrison Jr . and Michael Wilson ), and the entire starting offensive line all played only one series, a 10-play drive that resulted in an Arizona touchdown. Again, Love played 23 snaps. LaFleur is a first-year coach, and balancing preseason playing time with player safety is a difficult task. Yes, it was an unlucky way for this to turn out, but Love didn't need to be out there in the first place. This is a bit of a triple-whammy for Arizona's rookies. Second-round guard Chase Bisontis tore his MCL in Thursday's win and is out for the season. Carson Beck missed the game due to some rib discomfort, though LaFleur said there's "no concern level really." As for the running back rotation, things have taken a bit of a turn. Arizona appeared to be a potential seller ahead of roster cuts. Conner is yet to take 11-on-11 snaps in practice, but the two-time Pro Bowler is getting closer to a return. With Love and Allgeier ahead of him in the pecking order, though, and the Cardinals not yet ready to compete, he could be an enticing trade candidate when healthy. He had consecutive 1,0 [... truncated ...]
