The Arizona Cardinals are sitting at 1-3 through four weeks of the 2024 NFL season, a disappointing start given that the team was expected to be more competitive after their offseason.
Arizona’s biggest problem remains their defense as they’ve struggled to contain offenses both on the ground and through the air, though the offense also hasn’t quite found its footing yet.
Kyler Murray has looked about average as a passer through four games even though he’s got a true No. 1 option to throw to in Marvin Harrison Jr.
Trey McBride has also established himself as the clear No. 2 target for Murray, but he’s also experienced a slow start.
McBride was forced to miss last week due to a concussion and was expected to be cleared and ready to suit up for Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers.
However, McBride is now reportedly dealing with a rib injury and is listed as questionable.

McBride cleared concussion protocol, but his recent rib injury casts some serious doubt as to whether or not he’ll suit up against San Francisco.
The star tight end is a huge part of the Cardinals’ passing game, and his absence would make it even more difficult for the team to move the football against a stout 49ers’ defense.
It seems like he will be a true game-time decision, though being to the injury report this late into the week is never a good sign.
