How about some Friday Before #AZvsTB, including:
- Fitting MHJ back with red-hot Mike Wilson and McBride
- Calais Campbell's Thanksgiving eating lesson
- Trey Benson's timeline
- Brissett's record chance
and other #AZCardinals notes and thoughts.

Harrison + Wilson + McBride, And Friday Before The Buccaneers

RB Emari Demercado joins Nolen, Benson, Hernandez as out for Sunday's game in Tampa.

Beachum, Harrison, Bam Knight and Max Melton all questionable.

No injury status for Baron Browning, Will Johnson, so they are good to go for #AZCardinals.

With Baron Browning ready to return from his concussion, #AZCardinals release 2024 5th-round pick Xavier Thomas:

Gannon: Harrison has “looked good.”

RB Trey Benson will not play. Will Hernandez and Walter Nolen also out Sunday.

All these Progressive commercials reminds me the current #AZCardinals QB who has taken his turn:

No Trey Benson, no Max Melton as the changes to #AZCardinals injury report.
November 27, 2025 at 8:40 PM
Lengthy #AZCardinals injury report does not include any rest days. Sweat and Beachum both missed with maladies.
November 26, 2025 at 9:33 PM
Trey McBride, storming through the season, is poised to break the #AZCardinals record for games in a row with at least 5 catches. He's tied with Larry Fitzgerald:

Marv at #AZCardinals practice. Missed last two games after appendix surgery.

Didn’t see:
RB Emari Demercado
LB Baron Browning
G Will Hernandez
S Rabbit Taylor-Demerson
Sweat and Beachum both absent
too. Both had rest days last week.
November 26, 2025 at 6:32 PM
Gannon: DL Walt Nolen (knee) will be out this week.

#AZCardinals S Budda Baker, who has been a Rooney Sportsmanship finalist each of the last 2 years, is again the team's Rooney nominee:

Another step closer: Larry Fitzgerald voted into the top 25 (26, actually) Hall of Fame semifinalists for the 2026 class.

One-time Cards Lomas Brown, Terrell Suggs also on the list.

"One thing I am big on, moreso than production, is earning the respect of people in the building."

WR Michael Wilson showing out for #AZCardinals:

Gannon, asked about a plan to bring back Kyler Murray to play. Murray has to miss at least one more game on IR.

“I talk to K1 every day. He’s working hard to get healthy. He’s engaged. I know he wants to play.”
November 24, 2025 at 10:00 PM
#AZCardinals WR Michael Wilson on his brief celebration after his late 31-yard catch Sunday with the clock running. (Wilson quickly grabbed the ball and got to ref before the whole team got to the LOS.)
November 24, 2025 at 7:57 PM
Seems unlikely, with his left arm in a sling, that Baker Mayfield will be able to play against the Cardinals next week for the Bucs.
November 24, 2025 at 4:17 AM
#AZCardinals still getting a ton from Trey McBride and Michael Wilson in passing game, but that wasn't enough.

Gannon said on the final play, Weaver got single covered and Wilson/McBride were doubled. Said you feel good about a 1-on-1 ball when others are doubled.

"Love the decision. Go win the game."
November 24, 2025 at 1:30 AM
On 4th-n-4 at Jax 42, Brissett throws deep for the win into double-coverage to Xavier Weaver. Broken up.

#AZCardinals lose in OT, 27-24.
November 24, 2025 at 12:28 AM
So, Lawrence motioned Tim Patrick and the #AZCardinals lost him -- but Patrick never looked for the ball wide open down sideline and the Jaguars settle for a 52-yard FG.

#AZCardinals chance here.
November 24, 2025 at 12:20 AM
Wilson's 31-yard catch sets up a 29-yard field goal with 3 seconds left, this is ties at 24 and the Jaguars gotta be wondering why they didn't kick their own field goal.
November 24, 2025 at 12:11 AM
Michael Wilson now has 10 catches for 118 yards. Second straight week with 10 receptions and 100 yards.
November 24, 2025 at 12:10 AM
OK then.

Jags up 3, fourth-n-1 at AZ 20. Go for it -- pass -- and it's incomplete.

#AZCardinals another chance down 3 with 1:40 left.
November 24, 2025 at 12:06 AM
LIGHT IT.

Dortch 39 yards for the TD, from Brissett, and the #AZCardinals take the lead.
November 23, 2025 at 11:46 PM
Punter Matt Haack is having a heck of a debut.

Little victories.
