Team news: Arizona Cardinals | Page 10

WR Brandin Cooks was with the WR/TE group during the individual period of Thursday’s practice.

Related Players: Nico Collins, Chris Moore

It looks like Cooks and the Texans have made up for the time being, and it will do neither party any good to see the wide receiver sitting on the bench. This undoubtedly steps on Nico Collins' toes, as it will be difficult for him to hit double-digit targets —as he did in Week 10— if Cooks is lining up opposite him. Both WRs can be considered high-floor/low-ceiling Flex plays against the Commanders in Week 11.

Kyler Murray could miss "another week or so.”

Related players: Colt McCoy, DeAndre Hopkins, Rondale Moore

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler first reported the news. If accurate, McCoy would get the start if Murray is out. McCoy wasn't bad last week, throwing for a TD and 238 yards. It was nice to see Hopkins (10-98-0) and Moore (9-94-0) continue to get targeted with Murray out of the lineup. Murray owners should have a backup plan as the Cards host the 49ers on Monday night in Week 11.

Cardinals TE Zach Ertz has suffered a season-ending knee injury. A brutal reality for Arizona and its veteran.

Related Players: Trey McBride, Stephen Anderson

Ertz has had a very real resurgence since arriving in Arizona one year ago, so this is sad to see. Trey McBride is a rookie receiving specialist who won the John Mackey Award —the collegiate tight end of the year— at Colorado State in 2021 but has only four receptions on the season. He and Stephen Anderson will split receiving work, with McBride being the only feasible fantasy option.

Cardinals have informed RB Eno Benjamin - who started for them when James Conner was hurt this season - that they are releasing him.

Related Players: Keaontay Ingram

Benjamin was on the field for exactly one offensive snap in Week 10 after converting his one target in 15 yards the week prior. Rookie sixth-rounder Keaontay Ingram has hardly been used any more than that, but he will operate as the immediate Conner backup for now.

In the open part of Cardinals practice, QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) was working.

It was implied by reporters at practice that Murray looked completely normal and was operating without a hitch. Assuming he's good to go, he has top-five upside against the Rams in Week 10

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray listed as DNP Wednesday with a hamstring injury.

Related players: Colt McCoy

Murray is considered day-to-day, a source told Rapoport. Rapoport went on to say it's "not nothing. But not catastrophic." Today was just a walkthrough but this will be something to monitor this week. The Cardinals play a later afternoon game at the Rams so owners will need to be prepared. McCoy would be in line to start if Murray can't go.

Texans WR Brandin Cooks’ status is up in the air for tonight’s game against the Eagles after multiple teams — including the #Rams and #Cowboys — couldn’t pull off a trade before Tuesday’s deadline.

Related Players: Phillip Dorsett, Chris Moore, Tyron Johnson

With Nico Collins already being declared out, the Texans wide receiver group tonight looks like a practice squad group. Houston is now a 14-point underdog against the Eagles, and the line could continue to move with this added news. Dameon Pierce is the only fantasy-viable option on this team at the moment.

Cardinals’ RB James Conner is out Sunday against the Vikings due to his rib injury.

Related Players: Eno Benjamin, Keaontay Ingram

It looks like Eno Benjamin's backfield yet again, with Keaontay Ingram operating as his backup. Benjamin finished Week 7 as fantasy's RB5.

The running backs were all out here working again including James Conner and Darrel Williams.

Conner missed the last two games but looks to be on track to play in Week 8 and probably assume the lead role. Benjamin filled in nicely the last two weeks but will likely take a back seat assuming Conner returns.
