Jalen Brooks will miss the rest of the 2026 season due to a wrist injury
Wide receiver Simi Fehoko helped the Cardinals get their 2026 season off on the right foot
Simi Fehoko was named NFC special teams player of the week after blocking a punt that led to a touchdown and recording a tackle in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers
Carson Beck will have to wait at least a week to play again following his impressive performance in last week's Hall of Fame Game. A rib injury sustained during that game will keep Beck sidelined for Thursday night's preseason game between the Cardinals and Raiders . Beck, a third-round pick out of Miami, practiced through soreness all week. And while the injury is not considered serious, the Cardinals are erring on the side of caution. The Cardinals had previously announced that veteran Jacoby Brissett would get the start after Brissett did not play last Thursday night. Beck's absence will deprive fans of what would have been a compelling quarterback matchup between himself and fellow rookie Fernando Mendoza, who is making his NFL debut. In his NFL debut, Beck went 15 of 19 for 188 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. His first career touchdown pass was a 5-yard completion to Simi Fehoko midway through the second quarter. Beck's favorite target last Thursday night was Jalen Brooks , who caught three passes for 99 yards that included a 49-yard reception.

"He doesn't make it too big. He just makes it about the play." While Beck won't get a chance to build off of that success against the Raiders, it appears -- barring a setback -- that he will be back on the field for the Cardinals' third preseason game against the Cowboys next Saturday night
Carson Beck, the Cardinals' third-round pick, impressed in the Hall of Fame Game, leading three scoring drives and throwing for 188 yards. Head coach Mike LaFleur noted that Beck's performance is consistent with what he's seen in practice, highlighting his ability to stay composed. While Jacoby Brissett remains the starter, Beck's strong preseason showing bolsters his potential as the team's future quarterback
Carson Beck has played in much bigger games than the Hall of Fame Game, so it probably should come as no surprise that the lights weren’t too bright or the stage too big. Beck started for the Cardinals in the first preseason game of the NFL season. He showed up and showed out. Beck played a little more than a half, completing 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown. He hit Reggie Virgil for what would have been a big gain on his final throw of the night in the third quarter, but Isaiah Simmons knocked it out. He directed scoring drives of 96, 50 and 61 yards, throwing a 5-yard fade to a well-covered Simi Fehoko for a touchdown on the team’s second scoring drive. The Cardinals were tied with the Panthers 17-17 when Beck left with 10:15 remaining in the third quarter. Fourth-stringer Kedon Slovis replaced Beck
Who would you sign to a contract extension during training camp?
How many injuries can one player endure?
Despite an ongoing contract dispute with the Cardinals, quarterback Jacoby Brissett participated in a workout with several teammates in South Florida, including Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride. This preparation comes as the team integrates a new offense under head coach Mike LaFleur, with Brissett currently projected as the starter. Brissett's contract situation includes a base salary of $4.88 million for 2026 with limited guaranteed money
The Arizona Cardinals had a very good draft this year. By taking RB Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick, all the tools that incoming head coach Mike LaFleur needs for his new offensive scheme are in place. LaFleur is an offensive coach and had particular requirements going into free agency and April’s draft. RELATED: ESPN RANKS CARDINALS #6 IN OFFENSIVE WEAPONS If you haven’t noticed, the Cardinals are stacked with offensive personnel. ESPN only brought that to everyone’s attention. Now, how will the changes alter the course of this year’s schedule and ultimately the win-loss column? WRs Kendrick Bourne and Devin Duvernay were signed in free agency, while another receiver, Reggie Virgil, was drafted out of Texas Tech. These will be melded with Michael Wilson , Marv Harrison, and Simi Fehoko . Of course, Arizona employs one of the best tight ends in the league with Trey McBride . But LaFleur’s offense needed some vagaries. Alterations. Modifications. Changes. Editor’s note: We had to look up “vagaries.” We just look smart. It all began with the offensive line. It had several issues. Right tackle was a particular problem. So were both offensive guard spots. Later, when LT Paris Johnson became injured, Kelvin Beachum was inserted. Ick. It’s no big secret why he is still unemployed. Both left and right guards were “no good.” Will Hernandez was supposed to start at right guard after returning to the roster, but he began the season on the PUP list as he got back to playing shape. Which seemed to be okay, because Isaiah Adams was the darling of the preseason and training camp and appeared to sew up the starting position. The plan was for Adams to be the starter at right guard and Evan Brown to be at the left guard spot until Hernandez was healthy, and then get him on the practice field and see where he was at physically. Adams started in Week 1. But it soon became clear that Adams played really well against other teams’ second and third string guys, but struggled when the big boys suited up. He was bull rushed easily and had an issue remaining engaged with his defender. It was just a few short seasons ago that Brown was an asset to the O-Line. But this past season, early on, he looked overwhelmed, and his on-field performance declined quite a bit. Brown was ranked the 61st-best guard out of 81 eligible players. He had family issues that needed his complete focus, but his play was just sub-par. When Hernandez returned and was ready to play, he supplanted Adams in Week 5, and it was deemed better late than never with the hope that the offensive line could recover. However, his comeback was cut short. He was placed on IR with hip and knee injuries on November 29. Adams was thrown back into the starting right guard position with an opportunity to show what he had learned since the beginning of the year and finish the season in the same role. With both guards playing poorly, Johnson and Williams were out at the tackle spots listed on IR. The offensive line was a combination of second-stringers and practice squad guys. At season’s end, this group was ranked #26. That’s out of 32 for anyone scoring at home. After losing 14 games, it was evident that the head coach and the majority of his coaching staff were headed for the unemployment line. LaFleur and his new OC, Nathaniel Hackett, took a looksy at the offensive line situation and highlighted several changes to be made. Center? Good. Left tackle? Check. Ummm…. Yeah, it was that bad. The offense will only go as far as the offensive line will take them. That is a known fact. It’s more than just being big. It’s greater than being a stud in college football. The NFL is a completely different level, and offensive linemen take a while to grow into their positions. Defensive tackles are bigger and, over time, develop girth. Defensive ends are quicker with a great first step. In college, some of these guys saw maybe three defenders that they struggled with. In the NFL, t [... truncated ...]
