The Arizona Cardinals’ <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season has undeniably fallen far short of expectations at this point, with injuries perhaps being the biggest obstacle for the team. The matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers presents a prime opportunity for Jonathan Gannon’s squad, who hope to have Marvin Harrison Jr. and Bam Knight available at Raymond James Stadium.



The injury report published on the <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-week-13-injury-report-player-statuses-for-all-14-games">official NFL site</a> listed both players as questionable, meaning their presence in the Cardinals’ offense remained uncertain till today.



Against all odds, both Harrison Jr. and Knight were listed as active and could play if Coach Gannon decides to use them. Undoubtedly, this is a significant boost for the Cardinals’ offense.



<h2>What happened to Harrison Jr. and Knight?</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals">Arizona Cardinals</a> offense is set to receive a major boost as both wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and running back Bam Knight are trending toward playing in Sunday’s key matchup. Harrison is returning after missing two games following an emergency appendectomy, a highly unusual mid-season ailment.

Meanwhile, Knight is managing a knee injury that limited his practice time this week. Despite both being officially listed as questionable, reports indicate the Cardinals expect their playmaker wideout and key rotational back to suit up, offering much-needed depth as Arizona looks to upset the Buccaneers.

<h2>The impact of this duo on the Cardinals’ offense</h2>



The Arizona Cardinals’ offense has seen important contributions from both Marvin Harrison Jr. and running back Bam Knight this season. Harrison Jr. remains a key perimeter threat, recording 34 receptions for 525 yards, averaging a robust 15.4 yards per catch, and finding the end zone 4 times. 



In the backfield, Knight has been a reliable goal-line option, tallying 63 carries for 193 yards and also scoring 4 rushing touchdowns, achieving an average of 3.1 yards per attempt. Their consistent, complementary production is essential as the Cardinals look to keep pace in the NFC West.

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Arizona Cardinals</a> (3-8) are in the middle of a three-game losing streak following a 27-24 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The NFC West team will clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, trying to snap its losing skid and right the ship for the final five games of the season.



Jonathan Gannon has been under scrutiny this campaign, with many saying his time with the Cardinals is over. 



The coach remains confident that his team will find success, but they need to execute better instead of expecting big changes from the coaching staff.



<h2>Jonathan Gannon doesn’t think the Cardinals should make big changes</h2>



Gannon told reporters that the Cardinals need to stick to the process if they want to see results. He remains confident that his team can turn things around.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251127_BUS_534232_jonathan-gannon-1-1_512b2007.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Jonathan Gannon" class="wp-image-529553"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Jonathan Gannon of the Arizona Cardinals.</figcaption></figure>



“(For) the sake of change, to think that you’re going to get a different result, I don’t believe in that (with) where we’re at right now,” Gannon said. “I think these games that are coming down to one-score games, you can look at a couple plays here or there, but I showed the defense the first drive of the game. They’re backed up, and five plays later it’s 7-0, and really not for anything schematically that they did.“



“Those are the things that I point out that it’s like, hey, let’s fix these day one install plays on a sail route, on a stretch play, on a four-way post wheel three out man to man zone beater that we’re in man to man. Let’s do those a little bit better. Then in critical moments, (it comes down to) do we have the right thought process, and can we execute? I think we have the right thought process, and I’ve seen us execute. We just have to do it a little higher level,” he added.



The Cardinals started the season with two consecutive wins. Ever since that, they have won just one game. They need to get things going, or the front office will probably hit the reset button again.&nbsp;

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacoby-brissett">Jacoby Brissett</a> took a hard shot from Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd, leaving the quarterback shaken up and sending him to the medical tent. Fortunately for the Arizona Cardinals, they still have another quarterback available on the depth chart if needed.



If Brissett ends up being injured, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals">Cardinals</a> have Kedon Slovis as the third option on the roster. He would be the only one able to step into that role if the team’s current quarterback can’t return to the game or misses any of the upcoming weeks.



Kedon Slovis lacks the experience to be the starter, but as the only option, and considering he is new to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, the Cardinals will likely use him in a season that has gone poorly for the franchise, where little can be done now to save the year.



<h2>Brissett outperforms Kyler Murray</h2>



With the Cardinals sitting at 3-8 this season, playoff contention is largely irrelevant. However, analysts are closely examining what Brissett has been able to accomplish in a short time, statistically outpacing Kyler Murray through their respective first five-game stretches this season.



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">Really hope Jacoby Brissett is okay. <a href="https://t.co/lz4KIMNVZr">pic.twitter.com/lz4KIMNVZr</a>— 🌵 Mr. Az (@MrAzSports) <a href="https://twitter.com/MrAzSports/status/1992735611229458515?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 23, 2025</a></blockquote></div>



As of November 17, Brissett’s Cardinals stats stood at 1,570 yards, 10 TDs, 3 INTs, 7.4 YPA, and a 99.0 Rating. In comparison, through a five-game sample this season, Murray recorded only 1,262 yards, 6 TDs, 3 INTs, 6.0 YPA, and an 88.6 Rating. Even though Brissett played against some weaker defenses, like the Cowboys’, he still performed better.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/kyler-murray-net-worth"></div>


The Cardinals are in a situation where they must preserve their backups carefully, as Murray has been largely unavailable in two of the last three seasons, playing only 8 games in 2023 and just 5 games this year. Only in 2024 was he able to play 17 full games by remaining healthy.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a>‘ 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season has experienced more downs than ups, as they have only won three of the 10 games they have played. Jonathan Gannon is reportedly on the hot seat, and several reports suggest that he might not be the one leaving the organization at the end of the season.



The campaign didn’t start the best way, with second-year wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. struggling to find his pace and James Conner suffering a devastating injury. Quarterback Kyler Murray has missed five games, too, which has helped rumors about his potential exit.



Murray has made the playoffs only once during his seven-year tenure with the Cardinals. Some have speculated about the end of his stint, and one team might have set its sights on the former No. 1 overall pick.



<h2>New York Jets reportedly a potential landing spot for Kyler Murray</h2>



Dan Graziano of ESPN wrote on Wednesday that the Jets plan to continue starting Tyrod Taylor for the remainder of the season. After that, they will try to find alternatives, whether via the draft or by landing a veteran, mentioning Murray directly.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251122_BUS_531466_Kyler-Murray-quarterback-for-the-Arizona-Cardinals_912df1ef.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Kyler Murray, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals." class="wp-image-472696" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Kyler Murray, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.</figcaption></figure>



“The move is not expected to be temporary,” Graziano wrote. “Unless Taylor gets injured (which he has some history of doing), I don’t get the sense the Jets will go back to Fields this season. And there will certainly be a new quarterback in New York next year, whether it’s via the draft or a veteran outside solution such as Kyler Murray. The Jets owe Fields $10 million in guaranteed salary next year and will take a $22 million dead-money cap hit for 2026 when they inevitably release him in the offseason. Add that to the $35 million dead-money hit they already have on their 2026 cap for Rodgers, and that’ll make $57 million in 2026 cap charges for quarterbacks no longer on the roster. Not ideal.”



New York has won only two games this season. They have been competitive, but have failed to secure wins. Justin Fields was deemed the right guy for Aaron Glenn’s project at MetLife Stadium, but the experiment didn’t work out. A change of air could benefit Murray, but this appears to be just speculation.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jacksonville Jaguars</a> are still in the playoffs race but, as they prepare for their Week 12 game against the Arizona Cardinals, two key names are out of commission. Trevor Lawrence will now have to face an uphill battle.



The Jaguars will miss key figures in both defense and offense. Defensively, edge rusher Travon Walker won’t play due to a knee injury. He has 20 tackles and 2.5 sacks this season, but he missed practice all week.



As for the offense, wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. will miss a second straight game because of an ankle injury. While he had limited reps in practice this week, he is still not ready to go.



<h2>Brian Thomas Jr.’s regression has been concerning</h2>



Last year, Brian Thomas Jr. lit the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> on fire with a spectacular rookie season. This season, he has 30 catches for 420 yards and has only scored twice this season. The wideout is on pace to get 13 catches less than last year and 442 receiving yards less. Even more concerning, he would be six touchdowns less.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251121_BUS_531403_brian-thomas-jr-jax_135570f8.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Brian Thomas Jr. #7 of the Jacksonville Jaguars." class="wp-image-427185" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Brian Thomas Jr. #7 of the Jacksonville Jaguars.</figcaption></figure>



With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liam-coen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Liam Coen</a> entering the mix as the team’s head coach, Thomas was supposed to at least keep his production from last year. However, the reality is that him and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trevor Lawrence</a> haven’t been able to connect properly this season.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jaguars-add-2-time-super-bowl-champion-with-chiefs-to-support-trevor-lawrence"></div>


<h2>Travon Walker is important, but Jacksonville has a top defensive line</h2>



While missing Walker is not good news, the defense has plenty of talent to still be a menace to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cardinals</a>. For instance, defensive tackle Arik Armstead has 5.5 sacks this season and defensive end Josh Hines-Allen has three. Now, between both of them they can be enough to rush the passer.



Walker is a former first overall pick from the 2022 NFL Draft and comes from the big-time defensive program Georgia. Having said that, this season hasn’t been great for him. Still, he is a talented pass rusher that has reached double-digit sacks in the last couple of seasons.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals">Arizona Cardinals</a>’ latest defeat at the hands of the 49ers in Glendale marked their seventh loss of the season. The team’s performance has fallen short of expectations, and many are beginning to question Jonathan Gannon’s short-term future as head coach.



It is clear that the results are not favorable, and the poor level of play, coupled with injuries that have sidelined players of great importance, have caused the Cardinals to currently occupy the last spot in the NFC West.



In a recent interview with the press, Gannon was candid about his situation, making it clear that his future with the franchise isn’t entirely in his hands. He also vowed to do everything within his power to remain the head coach.



“Not controllable for me,” Gannon said, via the Arizona Republic. “I didn’t hire myself, I’m not going to fire myself. So seriously, I know it comes up. That’s the business we’re in. If you don’t want to be in that business, we laugh, we joke, go work somewhere else. I’m going to control the controllables for myself. Come to work and do the best job that I can and try to get our team in a position to win a game.”

<h2>Getting the season back on track</h2>



Despite currently holding the last place in the NFC West, the Arizona Cardinals are determined to find a way to improve their record as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season progresses. For the Cardinals to turn things around, they will need to see immediate improvements in execution on both sides of the ball and greater consistency in key moments.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-insider-shares-major-update-on-kyler-murrays-future-amid-steelers-trade-rumors"></div>


A healthy return and impactful performance from sidelined star players, such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyler-murray">Kyler Murray</a>, will also be crucial. While the path to a winning season is challenging, the team must focus on securing wins in its remaining divisional matchups to build momentum and move out of the bottom of the standings.



<h2>What’s next for the Cardinals?</h2>



The Arizona Cardinals face a mixed three-game stretch as they fight to improve their record. They begin at home by hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars, followed by a tough road trip to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 



They conclude this period by returning home to face the divisional rival Los Angeles Rams. Securing victories in these games—especially the divisional match against the Rams—is essential for the Cardinals if they hope to climb out of the NFC West basement.

The Cards are dead last in the NFC West division standings, seeing the other three teams compete for the title. Despite a positive 2-0 start to the season, they have been unable to maintain the pace.&nbsp;



Head coach Jonathan Gannon has received a lot of criticism for the team’s performances, and some think he may be coaching for his job right now.&nbsp;



<h2>Jonathan Gannon shrugs off “hot seat” rumors&nbsp;</h2>



Ahead of their Week 12 duel against the Jacksonville Jaguars, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/jonathan-gannon-turns-heads-with-major-admission-about-his-future-with-cardinals">Gannon opened up on the rumors, saying he can’t control</a> what the front office is thinking and he can only focus on his job. More importantly, he firmly stated that he counts on the players’ support.

“They want to be part of the solution as well,” he said. “They come up and tell me that, and that’s a good thing. I’d be lying to say it’s cheerful in there (the locker room) right now.”



The Cardinals could go through major changes in the offseason, starting with Kyler Murray leaving the team. Gannon could follow the quarterback if the team fails to make the playoffs again.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> are facing quite some injuries that could hamper their output against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11 of the NFL season. One of those names that could be in doubt is running back Bam Knight. Will he suit up?



Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Bam Knight is expected to play despite battling an ankle injury. This is a huge relief for the Cardinals who are really short-handed in the running back position.



Their starting running back, James Conner, had a season-ending injury earlier in the season. That was quickly followed by another tough injury to RB2 Trey Benson, who is still on IR. Then, RB3 Emari Demercado wasn’t doing enough, plus also had some critical mistakes. This has made Bam Knight the one to take the workload in the rushing game.



<h2>Will Marvin Harrison Jr. play vs. 49ers?</h2>



The best wide receiver in the Cardinals roster won’t play either. Marvin Harrison Jr. had an appendicitis surgery which took him out of this game. Hence, quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacoby-brissett" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jacoby Brissett</a> (who is also a backup) will not have his best wideout available.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251116_BUS_528024_marvin-harrison-jr-ari-cardinals-1024x576_f56e9c57.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Marvin Harrison Jr. #18 of the Arizona Cardinals " class="wp-image-422937" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marvin Harrison Jr. #18 of the Arizona Cardinals </figcaption></figure>



This means it’s Michael Wilson serving as WR1 for this game. Now, Wilson is talented, but the amount of injuries this team has is just insane. The team is playing with the RB4, WR2, and QB2 as starters.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/49ers-get-defensive-help-as-kyle-shanahan-prepares-for-brock-purdys-return-vs-cardinals"></div>


<h2>Only one star left on the Cardinals offense</h2>



The only actual star left on the field is tight end Trey McBride, who is one of the best in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. Still, the rest of the skill positions aren’t as healthy so a heavy workload awaits to McBride.



McBride has 61 catches for 603 yards and six touchdowns. He averages 9.9 yards per catch and he is the most reliable weapon Brissett has. If the Cardinals want to upset the 49ers, McBride must be stellar.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a> is expected to reclaim his starting quarterback role for the San Francisco 49ers‘ Sunday matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Kyle Shanahan must be happy to have his signal-caller back, but also to have some new defensive help.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">49ers</a> waived backup QB Adrian Martinez and that roster spot was filled by defensive end Clelin Ferrell off the practice squad. Ferrell has played in the last two 49ers games as a temporary practice squad elevation. Now, he officially gets a roster spot.



Kyle Shanahan might focus on Brock Purdy’s return. However, defensive coordinator Robert Saleh might be ecstatic by the decision to keep Ferrell as he schemes against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cardinals</a>.



<h2>Ferrell is trying to revive his career</h2>



Picked with the fourth overall pick in the 2019 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Draft, Ferrell failed to produce for the Raiders. Now a seven-year veteran, he is trying to revive his career, and the 49ers are the best team to do so, since Robert Saleh will coach you.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251115_BUS_527460_clelin-ferrell_98b42da1.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Clelin Ferrell #96 of the San Francisco 49ers" class="wp-image-527468"></figure><figcaption>Clelin Ferrell #96 of the San Francisco 49ers</figcaption></figure>



In fact, he already has a sack in two games with San Francisco. Ferrell is 28 years old, so he still has time to evolve into a big-time player. Also, the 49ers elevated cornerback Eli Apple for the Cardinals game.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-kyle-shanahan-and-49ers-could-reportedly-trade-quarterback-after-final-decision-between-brock-purdy-and-mac-jones"></div>


<h2>San Francisco’s playoff hopes are still alive</h2>



The 49ers are 6-4 on the season which puts them third in the NFC West. However, the Seahawks and Rams are both 7-2 but one will be 7-3 as they face each other. This puts the 49ers in position to almost catch up to them. 



Right now, the 49ers are eighth in the NFC, just below the Packers for the last Wild Card round spot. Despite all the injuries, they are still alive and fighting. That is why Kyle Shanahan is a firm Coach of the Year candidate.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals </a>have had a rocky 2025 NFL season. After a promising 2-0 start, they lost five consecutive games before they upset the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. They came back to reality on Sunday, when the Seattle Seahawks dismantled them in a 44-22 loss at Lumen Field.&nbsp;



The Cardinals are one of those teams with intriguing pieces that can’t elevate their game. They have seen their divisional rivals improve season after season, while they remain the weakest squad in the NFC West.&nbsp;



Kyler Murray’s future appears to be up in the air after seven seasons with the franchise. Jonathan Gannon could leave the franchise if the season doesn’t improve, and one would imagine that they would blow it up to start a new rebuilding.



Marvin Harrison Jr. struggled at the start of the campaign, but found a footing by the weeks. He is part of the team’s future plans, but it seems like he isn’t in the best situation to shine.&nbsp;



<h2>Trey McBride could make NFL history this season</h2>



Star tight end Trey McBride, playing his fourth campaign in the league, is one of the few bright spots the Cardinals have had this season. The Colorado State product has become one of the most reliable players in his position, and his numbers this season are a testament to how important he is for the Cardinals.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251113_BUS_526443_Trey-McBride-1-1024x576_ad8d1b15.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-369930" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>McBride</figcaption></figure>



NFL researcher Dante Koplowitz-Fleming shared on Tuesday that McBride leads the Cardinals in offensive touches, scrimmage yards and scrimmage touchdowns in 2025. He could be the first tight end in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>history to lead his team in all three categories in a season.&nbsp;



In nine games this campaign, McBride has recorded 61 receptions on 88 targets for 603 yard and six touchdowns. He came off his best season in 2024, but this one could be better if he continues to deliver.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> are going through a tough stretch — and it just got even more complicated. The NFC West team has unexpectedly announced that Marvin Harrison Jr. has been ruled out for their Week 11 game against the San Francisco 49ers.



Arizona has not been the contender many expected this year. The club has struggled with injuries, and now another one has hit the team hard.



On Wednesday, head coach Jonathan Gannon revealed during a press conference that Marvin Harrison Jr. underwent appendicitis surgery earlier this week and will miss Sunday’s matchup against the 49ers.



<h2>When will Marvin Harrison Jr. return?</h2>



The recovery time for an appendectomy is relatively quick — usually between one to two weeks. The Cardinals haven’t set an exact date for Harrison Jr.’s return, but he’s expected to be ready by Week 12.



Harrison Jr. has yet to deliver the performances the Cardinals hoped for when they selected him with the 4th overall pick. So far, the wide receiver’s production has been underwhelming.



In 26 games, Harrison Jr. has 96 catches for 1,410 yards and 12 touchdowns. However, inconsistency at the quarterback position has directly affected his numbers.

<h2>Marvin Harrison Jr. isn’t the only WR injured</h2>



With Harrison Jr. sidelined, the Cardinals are expected to elevate Michael Wilson to the WR1 role. This move comes as a surprise to many, as Zay Jones was initially expected to take over.



Unfortunately, it has been confirmed that Jones tore his Achilles last Sunday against the Seahawks and will miss the remainder of the 2025 NFL season. The team signed wide receivers Andre Baccellia to active roster and Jalen Virgil to practice squad due to these injuries.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> are preparing to cement themselves as NFC contenders. To do so, they have to beat divisional rivals Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. However, there are questions on wide receiver Cooper Kupp’s status. Will he suit up?



After missing Week 9 with heel and hamstring injuries, Kupp was able to log practices late in the week ahead of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cardinals</a> game. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, “Seahawks&nbsp;WR Cooper Kupp, questionable with a hamstring and heel injury, has a better shot of playing this week than last week. It’s still up in the air, but he’s got a chance.“



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cooper-kupp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kupp</a> has been a bit underwhelming in terms of receiving yards. The former Ram has 24 receptions for 293 yards and one touchdown. However, he has been stellar in other parts of the game. He is arguably the best WR at blocking, and that’s something that Seattle has thanked about Kupp. He helps open lanes for the running game very effectively.



<h2>The Seahawks have a new weapon</h2>



During the trade deadline, the Seahawks acquired WR Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints. Shaheed will become a huge threat downfield and Seattle gets a new dimension on the offense with him.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251109_BUS_523368_rashid-shaheed-1-1024x576_84884ae3.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Rashid Shaheed" class="wp-image-520961" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Rashid Shaheed #22.</figcaption></figure>



Shaheed has 44 receptions for 499 yards and two touchdowns this year. He’s done that in a poor offense like the Saints. Now, he will enter a new, more prolific scheme in Seattle.


 


<h2>Sam Darnold has a clear WR1 though</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sam-darnold" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sam Darnold</a> has been stellar with the Seahawks. Much of that success comes from the fact that he found the perfect partner in crime. WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba has evolved into arguably a top 5 wide receiver in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.



He leads the league in receiving yards with 948 on 58 catches. He also has four touchdowns. JSN is averaging 118.5 yards per game and has looked absolutely unstoppable. Now, if you pair him up with Kupp and now Shaheed, the Seahawks could make lots of damage for the upcoming games.

With the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> weighing Kyler Murray’s future and the Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly showing interest, a new report from an NFL insider has revealed key details about the quarterback’s situation.



Ian Rapoport, one of the most reliable NFL insiders, has shared that there’s a growing sense around the league that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyler-murray" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyler Murray</a> may have played his final snap with the Cardinals.



“In a span of 24 hours, the entire landscape of Arizona’s QB situation changed for the foreseeable future,” Rapoport <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/qb-kyler-murray-future-with-cardinals-in-question" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">writes</a>. “Sources involved in the situation don’t have a clear conclusion and the full answer will come in stages: first weeks and then months. But either way, there will be many conversations after the 2025 season centered around whether to move on from Murray in the offseason.”



<h2>Where there’s smoke, there’s fire</h2>



Throughout the 2025 NFL season, rumors have continued to build regarding Kyler Murray’s potential departure from Arizona. Now, Rapoport’s report has added more fuel to the fire.



When speculation begins to circulate this consistently, it often means something is developing behind the scenes. Murray’s situation with the Cardinals appeared stable last year, but things seem very different now.



According to reports, despite the lucrative contract extension they gave Murray in 2022, the Cardinals are questioning whether trading him might be the best option to accelerate their rebuild.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/arizona-places-kyler-murray-on-ir-cardinals-qb-depth-chart-updated"></div>


More recently, rumors have surfaced suggesting that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/steelers-could-be-eyeing-aaron-rodgers-replacement-but-might-have-competition-from-the-raiders-for-former-first-overall-pick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steelers could be interested in acquiring Murray</a>. However, much will depend on how the 2025 season unfolds — and whether Aaron Rodgers decides to return in 2026.



<h2>Steelers: an ideal scenario for Kyler Murray</h2>



If Aaron Rodgers retires after the 2025 NFL season, Kyler Murray could be a strong option for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steelers</a> in 2026. Once again, head coach Mike Tomlin would have a mobile quarterback, similar to when he worked with Russell Wilson in 2024.



Tomlin could be the coach Murray needs to fully showcase his abilities. Additionally, given the Steelers’ offensive line struggles — which have allowed consistent pressure on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rodgers</a> — Murray’s agility could be crucial in extending plays and keeping the offense moving when the pocket collapses.

The Arizona Cardinals have recently been in the spotlight due to the injury to their star quarterback, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyler-murray">Kyler Murray</a>, which opened the door for veteran Jacoby Brissett to take over as the starter. The former Patriots and Dolphins’ strong performances have many questioning what Murray’s future will look like once he’s healthy.



Monti Ossenfort, the franchise’s General Manager and one of the main voices on player matters, spoke to the press on Friday and made his stance clear regarding what will happen with the team’s top QB once he’s fully recovered.



“When we put a guy on IR, that’s four weeks away,” Ossenfort said, via ArizonaSports.com. “A lot of things can happen between now and then. I think Jacoby has done a great job of leading our offense. We’re expecting more of the same moving forward. But Jacoby’s put himself in a good spot for where we’re going offensively. When Kyler gets healthy . . . we’ll assess when we get to that point.”



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals">Arizona Cardinals</a>‘ General Manager also added that the team is “gonna do everything we can to get him in a good spot to help us out come later in the season once he’s completely healthy.”

<h2>Brissett earns his spot</h2>



Veteran quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacoby-brissett">Jacoby Brissett</a> has officially seized the starting role for the Arizona Cardinals, earning the job through sheer performance after stepping in for the injured Kyler Murray. Brissett has provided a massive spark for the offense, showcasing a high level of efficiency and command. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/cardinals-make-intriguing-move-after-placing-kyler-murray-on-ir"></div>


Over his starts, he has consistently posted a completion percentage over 65% while keeping turnovers to a minimum, often boasting a passer rating well above 100. His reliable, veteran presence and impressive statistical output were simply too compelling for the coaching staff to ignore, making the QB change permanent for the Cardinals.



<h2>What injury does Kyler Murray have?</h2>



The Arizona Cardinals have officially placed franchise quarterback Kyler Murray on Injured Reserve due to a persistent mid-foot injury suffered in Week 5. The move sidelines the former number one overall pick for at least four games as he continues his rehabilitation. 



While the injury is reportedly not season-ending, the decision to move Murray to IR has fueled speculation about his long-term future with the team, particularly with backup Jacoby Brissett delivering strong performances in his absence.

Cardinals turn heads on Friday with suggestive comment about Murray’s future with the franchise - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals </a>started the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season confident that quarterback Kyler Murray could take them back to the playoffs. After a promising 2-0 start, the Cards appeared to be ready to join the Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers to start a four-team race to win the NFC West division.&nbsp;



Seven weeks later, the Cardinals only won one more game, struggling to close out duels and seeing opponents secure one-score wins in the final minutes.&nbsp;



As Murray recovers from an ankle injury, veteran Jacoby Brissett has taken over, bringing a spark to the Cardinals’ offense. Brissett will start in Week 10 against the Seahawks, meaning that Murray will stay on the bench for a fourth consecutive week.&nbsp;



<h2>Drew Brees says Cardinals should stick with Jacoby Brissett</h2>



During Tuesday’s edition of ESPN’s “First Take,” former star quarterback Drew Brees sided with Brissett after questioning what Murray has brought to the team since being drafted with the No. 1 overall pick in 2019.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251106_BUS_522096_jacoby-brissett-1-1024x576_af8c1790.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jacoby Brissett" class="wp-image-521033" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jacoby Brissett #7 of the Arizona Cardinals.</figcaption></figure>



“Now you have that with Jacoby Brissett, a veteran, guy who has a ton of maturity. I mean, you just see him coming into his own. You see the way that the players respond to him, you just, you could feel it last night as you’re watching the game,” Brees said. “It’s hard to put numbers or metrics to that other than just you know what you’re watching. I don’t think you can take Jacoby Brissett off the field right now. They played their best football in the last couple of weeks. They’re trending up.”



In five games, Brissett has gone 73 of 112 for 860 yards and six touchdowns against one sack and 13 interceptions. The Cardinals have been competitive with Brissett under center, and Monday’s win against the Dallas Cowboys definitely helped the 32-year-old’s case.&nbsp;
