The Cardinals worked out two offensive linemen, three receivers and a cornerback.
The Arizona Cardinals make it a habit of trying to churn the back end of the roster, trying to address needs, scout other players and improve the depth on the roster.
According to the league transaction list, between Monday and Tuesday, the Cardinals brought in six players — two offensive linemen, three receivers and a defensive back.
He played only 18 snaps on Sunday and will be day-to-day with an ankle injury in Week 3.
The Arizona Cardinals must deal with an injury to another offensive starter. The latest is running back James Conner. He exited the Cardinals’ 29-23 overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders early in the third quarter with an ankle injury and did not return.
Of the three running backs who played in the game on offense, he had the fewest snaps, logging only 18 for the game.
He was seen after the game moving around well but his practice load this week will likely be affected.
“He’ll be day to day,” head coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters Monday. “He’s a tough guy. We just wanted to make sure he was a hundred percent if we were going to put him back in.”
It sounds like he has a decent chance of playing. He didn’t go back into the game on Sunday because they were getting good production from Darrel Williams and Eno Benjamin in his absence.
Williams essentially took over Conner’s role and finished with a team-high 59 rushing yards and a touchdown on eight carries, including a 30-yard run.
The Cardinals rushed for 143 total yards in the win.
They will hit the practice field Wednesday and will release their first injury report that afternoon.
We will see how much he practices to start the week then.
What’s new with the Los Angeles Rams since the Cardinals last faced them in the playoffs in January?
This Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals will take on their division rival Los Angeles Rams at State Farm Stadium.
The Cardinals look to be completely dead at halftime of Week 2’s contest in Las Vegas, but rallied in one of the more improbable comebacks in recent memory.
They suddenly find themselves with an opportunity to possibly take first place in the NFC West. So, what has changed since the Rams hoisted the Lombardi trophy a season ago?
The Rams made a few splash moves this offseason, as they typically do. The biggest two were the addition of former Chicago Bears receiver Allen Robinson and longtime Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner.
Robinson did not have any impact on their Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills but found the endzone last week against the Falcons.
Wagner has looked solid to this point. Wagner was always dominant in games against the Rams, therefore they decided to bring him on their side.
Despite these additions, the Rams have not looked quite the part of the team that won the Super Bowl last season. That is mostly due to two major losses in linebacker Von Miller, who signed with the Buffalo Bills this offseason, and receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who remains unsigned after he tore his ACL in the Super Bowl.
Prior to the Rams’ midseason acquisitions of Miller and Beckham, the Rams were a good, not great team. Without them, they may end up struggling.
The Rams did lose a few other starters of note. Cornerback Darious Williams signed a lucrative deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars and longtime punter Johnny Hekker is now punting for the Carolina Panthers.
The retirement of left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who was an anchor for Sean McVay since being hired, is worth noting. His loss has shown, as the Rams offensive line play has declined (partly due to injuries).
The defense played 60 snaps against the Rams. See how the playing time was divided up and what it meant.
In the Arizona Cardinals’ 34-11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the first round of the NFL playoffs to end their season, the defense was on the field for a total of 60 snaps.
How was that playing time divided up?
Let’s take a look at each player in each position group to see what we can learn from it.
With the Arizona Cardinals’ season officially over because of their embarrassing 34-11 playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams, it was time to have a post mortem podcast episode. Revenge of the Birds’ Seth Cox and I go over everything that hurts about the end of the season.
We place blame in the Cardinals’ loss to the Rams. We discuss whether the season was a failure and whether we are worried about Kyler Murray moving foward. We give our thoughts on whether Kliff Kingsbury should be fired and go over just how critical this coming offseason is.

There was good news, though, as he was alert and communicative and he never lost feeling or movement.
The Arizona Cardinals had a scare in the third quarter of their 34-11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams to eliminate them from the postseason. Cardinals safety Budda Baker tackled Rams running back Cam Akers and there was a big collision.
Baker went in low for the hit and Akers lowered his helmet, getting Baker in the head and neck area.
Baker remained motionless on the field after the play and had to be carted off on a stretcher.
The team announced that he suffered a concussion and that he would not return, but that he movement and feeling in his extremities.
The team later gave an update. Baker was taken to a local hospital for observation, he was alert a communicative and at no point did he lose feeling or movement, per medical staff.
It was scary to see but it appears to be a best-case scenario.
The Cardinals will almost a fully healthy squad against the Rams in their first-round playoff game.
