The final #AZCardinals injury report for #LARvsAZ. Lotta guys out.
December 5, 2025 at 9:31 PM
In open part of #AZCardinals practice, didn't see WR Xavier Weaver (hamstring).

If Weaver can't go, with Dortch and MHJ already ruled out, that leaves WR thin behind Michael Wilson. Potential for the Trent Sherfield return to the field.

“I’m worried about the Rams.”

Josh Sweat is slowly coming out of his shell as the years go by, but he is still the pass rusher he’s always been, and the right FA add for the #AZCardinals.
