The Arizona Cardinals continue their journey in the NFL with the main goal of accumulating victories to improve their record and potentially make the playoffs. Up next are the Minnesota Vikings, and Kyler Murray knows that for this crucial matchup, he will have the debut of a key defensive teammate.

The team led by Jonathan Gannon currently holds a record of six wins and five losses, meaning that a defeat in the upcoming game would be a setback in their pursuit of the NFC West title.

The biggest news for the Arizona Cardinals is the debut of a key defensive player who was injured in August during the preseason. The player in question is none other than rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson, who is now available to the coach after recovering from a calf injury.
