The Cardinals had the second-most efficient rushing team in the NFL in 2019, behind only Baltimore. The team set a franchise-record by averaging 5.03 yards per carry, and was 15.5% better than average, per Football Outsiders. Last season, the Cardinals were 21.4% worse than average running the...

Chandler Jones had one of his best seasons as a pro, and he was rewarded Friday by being called one of the best pros in the NFL this season. The outside linebacker, who had a career-high 19 sacks in 2019, was named first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press as an edge rusher. It is the second...

Jones tweeted Tuesday that he had successful surgery on his thumb, fixing an issue with ligaments. When Jones had four sacks in Seattle in Week 16, he became on the third player ever to have two games of four sacks in a season, and the first in 33 years. Denver's Karl Mecklenburg in 1985 and...

The coach remains the same, as will the quarterback. That's a good place to start for any team, and a good place to start for the Cardinals given the last couple Januarys of upheaval. But that doesn't mean there is a ton of work to get done, especially after a 5-10-1 season and another spot in...

So this is a good time to touch on basic salary cap info, and we can use David Johnson's contract as an example. If a player gets a signing bonus at the outset of a deal, the team that signs him pays him that money up front and is on the hook cap-wise for the entire amount. They do get to spread...

With the regular season complete, the Cardinals signed seven players to "future" contracts Monday, locking them in for the offseason 90-man roster. One of the players is punter Ryan Winslow, who spent time on both the Cards' active roster and practice squad earlier this season. The other six...

KEY CARDINALS PLAY IN ALL 16 GAMES After some injury-marred campaigns in the past, Hicks, left tackle D.J. Humphries and left guard Justin Pugh each logged full seasons in 2019. Hicks was on the field for every one of the Cardinals’ 1,133 defensive snaps, which was more than any other defender...

“That’s another discussion we’ll have,” Kingsbury said. “I thought he made big steps and with an entire offseason in our system he has a chance to really take off. We have to sit down with personnel and see where we are at with those guys.” -- Kingsbury wasn’t prepared to announce any changes...

LOS ANGELES – There was a pair of passes defensed and a tackle for loss, but Chandler Jones did not break Michael Strahan’s sack record Sunday against the Rams. He didn’t reach 20 sacks either, after being shut out by a Rams’ pass protection scheme that was clearly working to keep him off...

The Cardinals moved the ball consistently throughout but were bitten by five turnovers. They lost a pair of fumbles in the first half on self-inflicted miscues, and then had two picks and the last-second fumble after intermission. Murray was clearly hampered, as there were no designed runs...

Rex With Kyler Murray's status in doubt for Sunday's game, the Cardinals promoted quarterback Drew Anderson from the practice squad Saturday. Coach Kliff Kingsbury had said Friday the move was coming "so we have every scenario covered." To make room on the roster, the Cardinals placed tight...

The Cardinals are intent on finishing the season strong, and coach Kliff Kingsbury does not plan to approach this game differently despite knowing it is the last chance for in-game evaluations. Quarterback Kyler Murray is dealing with a hamstring injury, but if he is 100 percent, the Cardinals...

It’s been more than four months since Raiders safety Lamarcus Joyner referred to Kliff Kingsbury’s offense as pretty-boy football. D.J. Humphries hasn’t forgotten. As the regular season comes to a close, the Cardinals’ left tackle wants to do a tale of the tape, comparing the team’s rushing...

Brett Hundley , backup quarterback, might not be the backup Sunday in Los Angeles. But he – like everyone else – must wait for the official determination about Kyler Murray's status-via-hamstring-health. That wasn’t available Friday, when coach Kliff Kingsbury as expected said again Murray...

KYLER MURRAY STILL LIMITED AS HE WORKS TOWARD SUNDAY Quarterback Kyler Murray was limited again in practice Thursday, doing some positional drills during the open portion to media. Coach Kliff Kingsbury has said a couple of times Murray’s status is probably going to come down to game day with...

Kingsbury designs the Cardinals’ passing game but defers to Sean Kugler for the rushing plays. The two didn’t meet until Kugler interviewed to be the offensive line coach this offseason, but Kingsbury was excited to make the hire and the chemistry blossomed early on. “I had heard great things...

The debate goes on about Chandler Jones’ chances to win NFL Defensive Player of the Year, but there wasn’t much debate that he should win this week’s NFC Defensive Player of the Week. The outside linebacker dominated in Seattle as the Cardinals came away with the 27-13 upset over the...

The three biggest things to watch for Sunday when the Cardinals play the Rams at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum: To Play Or Not To Play, That Is The (Kyler) Question Kyler Murray wants to play. Kliff Kingsbury wants Kyler Murray to play. Can Kyler Murray, with a hamstring that was tweaked...

Yes, when they are promoted to the active roster from the practice squad, they are due a pro-rated portion of the minimum salary (unless their team actually signs them to a bigger contract.) That is approximately $28,000 a week, so a significant difference. As for per diem, yes, players, coaches...
