Cardinals WR Michael Wilson will miss the rest of the season with a neck injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. This one is a major surprise after Wilson seemed to make it out of the Week 9 loss to the Seahawks healthy. We'll look for further updates on the injury and whether it might impact Wilson's 2027 season. He finishes this year with a 51-546-2 line across 9 games, sitting 22nd among WRs in PPR points per game.

Update: Wilson suffered a fracture in his neck on the fourth play of the Seahawks game, HC Mike LaFleur said.

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson managed 6 catches for 60 yards among 7 targets in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. That marks improvement over the first meeting. Wilson also drew 7 targets in that contest but caught only two of them.

Cardinals WR Kendrick Bourne broke his tibia in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Bourne doesn't need surgery but will be sidelined for 3 months, ending his 2026 campaign. Bourne registered a 61% route rate and 15% target share in three full games without WR Marvin Harrison. He joins Jalen Brooks on IR, leaving Arizona woefully thin at WR. Reggie Virgil, Simi Fehoko, and Devin Duvernay are on the active roster behind Michael Wilson, with Zay Jones and Harrison Wallace on the practice squad. You can ignore those guys on the waiver wire this week. Wilson and TE Trey McBride will continue dominating Cardinals targets.

Michael Wilson played ‘hero’ in the Cardinals come-from-behind win over the Cowboys, catching the game-tying TD with six seconds left. He finished with 8 receptions on a team-high 15 targets for 111 yards and a TD while adding a 17-yard rush, finishing with 26.8 PPR points and a WR1 finish in Week 8.

The Cardinals are sending WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Texans for second- and sixth-rounders in the same draft. Harrison's rookie contract runs through 2027, with a club option for 2028. The Arizona portion of his 2026 campaign ends with just 5 catches for 85 yards and a TD.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will be INACTIVE this Sunday against the Lions as the team has been actively negotiating a trade with him. It appears a deal is imminent (likely occurring between Sunday-Tuesday this week). But the team continues to take offers it appears and may be in negotiations with multiple teams. ESPN’s Adam Schefter notes that the Houston Texans are in the mix which would pair Harrison back with his college QB C.J. Stroud, but that is not announced or finalized at this point.

For the second straight week, Wilson led the team in targets. He hauled in seven of his 13 targets for 95 yards on his way to 16.5 PPR points. Despite not scoring a TD, he finished Week 4 ranked as a high-end WR2 pending Sunday and Monday Night Football.

Wilson finished the Cardinals’ Week 3 loss with a team-high 17 targets. He hauled in 11 of his 17 targets for 89 yards and a TD. The Cardinals WR ranks as a WR1 for the first time this season pending Sunday- and Monday Night Football.

The Cardinals and WR Michael Wilson agreed to a three-year, $75 million extension with $47 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal keeps Wilson in Arizona through 2029 and makes him the league's 20th-highest-paid WR by average annual salary.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. endured an iffy first two NFL seasons, relative to his entry as the No. 4 overall pick in 2024. But he has maintained a target lead over Michael Wilson. The eight games last season in which Harrison played at least 70% of the snaps found him drawing 21.9% of targets vs. just 12.0% for Wilson. Of course, Harrison's second-half injury issues gave way to Wilson's fantasy explosion. Then came a coaching change, and it's fair to wonder whether HC Mike LaFleur's scheme will alter the target distribution.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. reportedly rolled his left ankle over the weekend. There's scant reporting so far, which seems to indicate it's not too serious. But it'll bear watching.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that QB Jacoby Brissett is skipping "Phase 1" of the Cardinals' offseason program while seeking a new contract.

The Cardinals will release QB Kyler Murray when the new league year starts on Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's barring a trade happening before now and then -- which won't. Arizona owes Murray $36.8 million guaranteed in 2026, and another $19.5 million for 2017 would have triggered on March 15 if Murray was still on the roster. So this move has been expected for a while.

The Cardinals are hiring Mike LaFleur as their new HC, according to multiple reports. Arizona becomes the 10th and final team to fill a head-coaching vacancy this offseason. The Cardinals were in the mix for several other candidates, including Klint Kubiak, who accepted the Raiders’ head job yesterday. In the end, Arizona was the last team without a partner before landing on LaFleur.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. won't play in Sunday's finale vs. the Rams, the team announced. Harrison suffered a new foot injury in the Week 17 loss to the Bengals, on the opposite side of the bum heel he's been dealing with. It ends a disappointing sophomore season for Harrison, who winds up missing five games and parts of a few more. In eight games with a snap rate north of 70%, he averaged:

• 4.0 catches
• 61.6 yards
• 0.5 TDs

His 13.2 PPR points per game in those outings would have ranked 21st among WRs on the season. The Cardinals figure to have a new QB and coaching staff in 2026, which can only be good news for Harrison's fantasy prospects.

WR Michael Wilson and TE Trey McBride figure to dominate targets against the Rams this weekend.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. left last weekend's game vs. the Bengals with a foot injury. It's on the opposite side of the heel injury he's been dealing with, HC Jonathan Gannon said Monday. We'll keep tabs on Harrison's status this week, but he seems unlikely to play in Sunday's finale vs. the Rams. His absence would make WR Michael Wilson a strong fantasy bet.
