Cardinals injury report: Trey McBride sits out, Marvin Harrison Jr. limited

A look at the Cardinals’ first injury report of Week 4. Trey McBride is in concussion protocol and Marvin Harrison Jr. was limited.

The Arizona Cardinals’ Wednesday injury report leading to Sunday’s game in Week 4 against the Washington Commanders has some surprising names: safety Budda Baker, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and outside linebacker Dennis Gardeck.

Defensive lineman Justin Jones (torn triceps) and tackle Jackson Barton (toe) are not listed because Jones was placed on injured reserve and Barton not on the active roster. He is on the practice squad injured list

Rookie wide receiver Xavier Weaver (oblique) is off the report for the first time this season.

The full details are below.

Jones is one of three NFL players that suffered torn triceps in Week 3. The others are Lions defensive end Marcus Davenport, who has also been placed on injured reserve, and 49ers defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, who is expected to be.

Jones is also the third Cardinals defensive lineman to be lost for the season since a year ago September because of a muscle tear early in the season. In 2023, L.J. Collier in Week 1 and Carlos Watkins in Week 2 suffered torn biceps.

‘Not a lot of clarity’ on Cardinals’ injuries to start Week 4

Head coach Jonathan Gannon didn’t have much information to share with reporters about the Cardinals’ injuries on Monday.

The Arizona Cardinals had a few injuries of note in their loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. When head coach Jonathan Gannon spoke with the reporters on Monday, he didn’t have much news, and joked the reporters there wouldn’t be happy with him.

“The people that I talked about yesterday that got nicked a little bit, still working through some of those people right now with some different tests, meeting with doctors, stuff like that,” he said. “Not a lot of clarity on those guys.”

The only player he had an update on was tight end Trey McBride. He is in concussion protocol after a helmet-to-helmet collision with Lions safety Brian Branch.

What Gannon did say is there were “a couple of bumps and bruises,” which is something he says almost every week.

So we are waiting on information about the following players:

  • DL Justin Jones: He exited the game and did not return with a triceps injury. Considering the Cardinals’ luck with upper-arm injuries, it is hard not to worry that it might be season-ending.
  • DL Khyiris Tonga: He had a knee injury on Sunday.
  • OL Jackson Barton: He left in the fourth quarter with a toe injury. He had a walking boot on after the game. The Cardinals brought in another tackle for a workout if that is any sign of anything.

Commanders DE Chase Young ruled out of game vs. Cardinals

Young will miss at least the first couple of games of the season with a neck injury.

The Washington Commanders entered the weekend with two pass rushers listed as questionable for their home opener against the Arizona Cardinals. Their most talented has been downgraded.

The Commanders announced Saturday that Chase Young was downgraded to out.

He will miss at least a couple of weeks with a neck injury.

Young was the 2020 Defensive Rookie of the Year with 7.5 sacks. In 2021, he suffered a serious knee injury, tearing his ACL and patellar tendon. He played in only three games last season.

Entering this year, he finally began feeling explosive but now is dealing with the neck injury.

Had Young been able to play, his matchup against Cardinals left tackle D.J. Humphries would have been one to pay attention to.

The Cardinals are seven-point underdogs in the season opener.
