Arizona Cardinals performance and injury status

Overview

The Arizona Cardinals began the season with a 1-2 record, experiencing a rise in NFL power rankings despite defensive struggles. Early scrutiny focused on the team’s pass rush and the effectiveness of their 3-4 formation, specifically noting a lack of penetration from the defensive line.

By Week 6, the team’s situation declined following a four-game losing streak in which they surrendered more than 30 points in every contest. This period was marked by significant offensive challenges, including a run game that ranked among the bottom ten in the league. The team also faced a depleted roster due to injuries, including the loss of offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr. for the season and an ankle injury to rookie running back Jeremiyah Love.
