Arizona Cardinals opened 2-0 for the first time since 2021, reigniting questions about Kyler Murray’s ceiling. His vast playmaking talent remains, but translating big plays into wins will hinge on smarter decision-making and timely plays. If Murray improves in those areas, the early success could become sustainable.

Marvin Harrison Jr. has been quieter than expected, with Murray noting there’s only one ball to go around. Harrison’s calm response suggests patience, while the potential uptick in his targets could unlock a higher-octane offense. If usage climbs, Arizona could ride this start toward a playoff push, provided outside noise stays in-house.

Buccaneers sign rookie Elijah Simmons from Arizona's practice squad to the 53-man roster after Calijah Kancey's season-ending injury, adding a traditional two-down run-stopper to TB's interior.

Arizona loses DL depth with L.J. Collier and Garrett Williams landing on IR, exposing thickness issues on the Cardinals' line. Simmons' cross-party move creates immediate TB run-stopping potential while leaving Arizona thinner up front as the season progresses.

Arizona reshuffles its depth chart as injuries and moves ripple through the roster. Garrett Williams and L.J. Collier land on injured reserve with knee issues, while Darren Hall is promoted to the 53-man roster to function as the backup nickel against San Francisco. Elliott Brown is cut from the practice squad, Ekow Boye-Doe and Zach Carter join the practice squad, and Elijah Simmons signs with the Buccaneers after a prior stint with Arizona. A remaining 53-man vacancy lingers as the updated practice squad takes shape with Slovis, Michael Carter, Baccellia, Palmer, Deguara, Byers, Curhan, Jacobs, Leverett, and Carter on board.
