Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett ranks first in the NFL in passing yards, completions and pass attempts since taking over as the starter in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Things look so much different for the Cardinals' offense with Brissett running the show. Brissett completed 25-of-44 attempts for 271 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the Cardinals' Week 14 loss against the Rams. This week, he'll face another aggressive defense in the Houston Texans. Entering his age-34 season in 2026, Brissett is under contract through next season. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Demercado has been out since Week 11. In his absence, the Cardinals have split touches fairly evenly between Bam Knight and Michael Carter. If Demercado returns, he could take a solid share of the passing-down work, giving him some potential for future fantasy value. Still, most managers should take a wait-and-see approach this week and hope for more clarity heading into Week 16. If Demercado sits again, both Knight and Carter warrant RB3 consideration. |
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is out for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Harrison will miss his second straight game with the heel injury he suffered in Week 13. In his absence, Michael Wilson has seen elite volume and produced at a high level. He'll have his work cut out for him this week against Derek Stingley and a stout Texans' defense. Still, he makes for a high-end WR2. |
Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 11.

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) was not seen at practice on Thursday, Dec. 11.
| Footballguys view: That's two DNPs for Harrison to start this week. He missed Week 14 with this heel injury, and Harrison is likely to miss the game against the Texans in Week 15. That makes Michael Wilson a WR2/flex option against a tough Houston defense. |
Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Dec. 10.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison (heel) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 10, as he continues to recover from a heel injury suffered in Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Harrison had to miss Week 14, and it looks like another game may have to be missed. Michael Wilson has WR2 (with upside) potential if Harrison is out of action against the Texans in Week 15. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) will remain on the Reserve/Injured list for the rest of the season.
| Footballguys view: Benson's season is done after suffering this knee injury in October. He should be ready to go sometime in the offseason and at the very latest in training camp next year. Benson should be in line for lead back duties in the Cardinals' backfield, but who knows what the quarterback situation will look like. |
Arizona Cardinals OT Paris Johnson Jr. (knee) is week-to-week with a sprained medial collateral ligament.

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson caught 11 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Josh Weinfuss suggested, all Wilson does when he's WR1 is go for 100 yards. On Sunday, with Marvin Harrison Jr. out with a heel injury, Wilson put up 37.2 fantasy points, leaving him as WR1 through Sunday's late-afternoon games. That's the third time he's been a WR1 and had 100 yards this year. The Cardinals will face a tough test in Week 15 when they take on the Texans. |

Arizona Cardinals OT Paris Johnson Jr. (knee) left the Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Rams due to a knee injury.
Link to storyThe Arizona Cardinals have declared WR Marvin Harrison Jr., CB Max Melton, DT Walter Nolen, RB Emari Demercado, C Evan Brown, WR Xavier Weaver and S Dadrion Taylor-Demerson inactive for Week 14.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals OG Evan Brown (non-injury) has been ruled out of the Week 14 game.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) must be removed from the Reserve/Injured list during the upcoming week or he will become ineligible to play again this season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. His practice window is slated to close soon and there appears to be a real chance that the Cardinals will decide not to activate him, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: After getting in a limited practice on Wednesday last week and then sitting out Thursday and Friday, we have to conclude that he had a setback or at least the injury is not responding as hoped. We would expect him to remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season. Bam Knight is likely to be a good upside flex play. Michael Carter is the receiving back for now, but Emari Demercado did get in a few limited practices this week before sitting Friday and being ruled out. |
Arizona Cardinals WR Xavier Weaver (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, is not expected to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14, according to a source.

Arizona Cardinals WR Greg Dortch (chest) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams.
| Footballguys view: Dortch would have had some appealing upside with Marvin Harrison Jr. out. With Dortch inactive, Trey McBride and Michael Wilson should dominate targets. Get both of them in your lineups. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) did not practice on Friday, Dec. 5, and has been ruled out.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is out for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: After exiting last week's game with this heel injury, Harrison will miss at least one game. Michael Wilson caught 25 of 33 targets for 303 yards over the two recent games Harrison missed. Fire him up as a high-end WR2 in this matchup against the Rams. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) isn't progressing as the team hoped, and he won't play again this season, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
| Footballguys view: The Cardinals will have a difficult decision to make on Murray this offseason. Will they keep him, trade him, or simply release him and eat $58M in dead cap? They've been getting strong quarterback play from Jacoby Brissett lately, and he deserves a chance to finish out the season. With this news now official, Trey McBride and Michael Wilson both get big bumps to their rest-of-season outlooks. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, Dec. 3.
| Footballguys view: Benson looked to be returning in Week 13, but he might have had a setback in practice. Now, beginning this week as a DNP is not a great sign for his status in Week 14. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett has resurrected his career since taking over for QB Kyler Murray. In seven games since taking the reins of the offense, Brissett leads the NFL in completions (204), passing yards (2,188), first downs (106) and 300-yard games (four). He might be a prime candidate to be a key piece of Arizona's 2026 plans, according to beat writer Tyler Drake.
| Footballguys view: The Cardinals need a new plan at quarterback. The offense runs better with Brissett than it does Murray, so expect changes at the position this offseason. That could include Brissett as the starter, but he may also be a bridge quarterback to another player. It's not a great quarterback class in 2026, but they'll be looking certainly. |
