Kyler Murray and QBs during open part of practice. First practice for K1 this week while dealing with foot injury. #AZvsIND

The #AZCardinals sign punter Pat O'Donnell. They had an open roster spot.

Obviously Blake Gillikin's back issue is a thing.

Gannon said Murray’s status for Sunday will be based on how the next couple of days go.

No Kyler Murray at practice again today for #AZCardinals. Friday will be a huge day for QB decision.

He’s not doing anything g but watching yet, but Walter Nolen III is with his teammates.

Sounds like it's wait-and-see if QB Kyler Murray will go against Colts, but if not, veteran Jacoby Brissett in line for #AZCardinals.

"I have full trust in Jacoby."

#AZCardinals officially put TE Tip Reiman (ankle) on IR.

Gannon was asked about the vibe in the locker room after 3 straight losses:

“Today, it was dope as hell. Couldn’t start the meeting on time because of the energy in the room.”

Acknowledged work needs to be done but focus is on getting back to .500 this weekend.

#AZCardinals TE Elijah Higgins on where the team is after 3 straight last-play losses.

"I think one of the biggest messages was to not freak out and to stick to the process."

Higgins acknowledged everyone knows the process has to also improve because it's not delivering results.

I've seen a lot of #AZCardinals games over my 26 seasons. Not sure I've seen one like that.

That and other notes and thoughts in my #TENvsAZ Aftermath:

"At the end of the day, why we do we have to be close? That's the thing we are allowing to happen."

The #AZCardinals were in control Sunday against the #Titans. Until they weren't.

Gannon: “That’s three games in a row I’m saying the same thing.”

On the Emari fumble, “it’s never about one play.”
darrenurban.bsky.social
Not sure what to say, other than #AZCardinals lose on a final-play field goal for a third straight game, 22-21, to previously winless Tennessee.

Had a 21-6 lead and Emari Demercado was headed for a long TD. Whiplash from there.
darrenurban.bsky.social
OK.
Rabbit great INT. But he fumbles as he falls to the ground without being touched.

In the ensuing scramble, the ball ends up in the end zone and Titans WR Tyler Lockett falls on the ball for six.

Simply crazy. #AZCardinals lead, 21-19, 4:39 left.

TE Tip Reiman suffered hard injury. His right leg was in a brace as he was carted off.

Kyler Murray has returned to the game.

Kyler Murray (foot) is questionable to return. #TENvsAZ
