Arizona Cardinals hosted five linebackers for a Tuesday tryout as Cody Simon remains in concussion protocol and Owen Pappoe deals with a quad issue. Trace Ford, Nicholas Morrow, Owen Pappoe, Channing Tindall and Cody Simon joined the session, injecting a mix of youth and veteran depth. A potential practice-squad signing could follow if health lags into Wednesday’s workout.

Depth questions loom at outside linebacker, and the session signals a cautious approach to shoring up the room behind the top reserves. The move puts a spotlight on which players can contribute on special teams and in sub-packages, with health timeline and roster needs dictating any immediate additions.

Week 1 injury notes shape Cardinals at Saints fantasy decisions. Kyler Murray will play despite an illness; Arizona’s line could be tested with Will Hernandez out and Owen Pappoe questionable. New Orleans lists Chase Young out and Trevor Penning questionable toe, with Jordan Howden (oblique) and Khristian Boyd (hand) limited, Alontae Taylor groin. Spencer Rattler starts for the Saints, under rookie coach Kellen Moore, adding intrigue for DFS and in-season bets.

Key shifts: Murray’s health remains a non-issue for fantasy ceilings; Saints’ edge absence could alter quick-pass tendencies and target shares. Injuries to interior OL and secondary players on both sides create upside scenarios for a handful of secondary types in Week 1.

Chase Young and Trevor Penning are ruled out for Week 1 as New Orleans hosts Arizona, reshaping the Saints' edge and left-guard rotation. Jordan Howden is listed as questionable with an oblique, while Khristian Boyd and Alontae Taylor carry limited designations; Taylor is on track to play. For Arizona, Will Hernandez is out, Calais Campbell rests, with several other Cardinals players carrying no designation. These updates tilt some Week 1 expectations on both sides and create fantasy-adjusted risk around pass rush and pass protection.

With Young and Penning sidelined, Saints' defense and offensive line faces a thinner edge presence and guard depth, while Arizona’s offensive front may benefit from an improved matchup on the Saints’ rush lanes. Fantasy implications center on QBs and pass-catchers who could see more time or time to throw, plus potential changes in defensive performance and game tempo.
