The Arizona Cardinals are sitting with a record of 1-2, but it’s an exciting 1-2 after they played the Buffalo Bills tough in Week 1, destroyed the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2, and lost a close game to the Detroit Lions in Week 3.

Unfortunately for Arizona, they will face the Washington Commanders at home in Week 4 without arguably their best pass-catcher.

According to head coach Jonathan Gannon, tight end Trey McBride is out because of a concussion, via NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.

In the three games this season, McBride caught 14 passes for 122 yards.

After breaking out with 81 receptions for 825 yards and three touchdowns last season, his second in the NFL, it is clear that the 24-year-old is a huge piece of the Cardinals offense.

Quarterback Kyler Murray is going to have to find a way to succeed without McBride, at least for now.

Fortunately, Murray and rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. have started to build their connection.

After a tough first week, Harrison put up four catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Week 2, and followed that up with five receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown in Week 3.

Murray is going to have to lean on him, Pro Bowl running back James Conner, and receivers Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch.

If Arizona were to find a way to win this game without McBride, it would be very impressive.

The Cardinals would then be one of the league’s sneaky teams wth a .500 mark.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield.
