The Arizona Cardinals are navigating a turbulent week as they prepare for their upcoming matchup against the Tennessee Titans. After a tough loss to the Seattle Seahawks, where they fell 23-20 on a last-minute field goal, the focus has shifted to personnel changes and injury updates.
In recent workouts, the Cardinals brought in four running backs—Isreal Abanikanda, Jermar Jefferson, Montrell Johnson, and Michael Wiley—signaling growing concerns over their backfield depth. Current RB1 Trey Benson was absent from practice, raising alarms about his availability for Week 5. Defensive tackle Bilal Nichols, however, has returned to practice, enhancing the team's defensive prospects as they look to strengthen their lineup.
The loss to Seattle highlighted key moments where the Cardinals struggled, particularly in the closing minutes. After rallying back to tie the game, a failed kickoff setup allowed the Seahawks to capitalize and secure the win, leaving the Cardinals at a disappointing 2-2 and fourth place in the competitive NFC West.
As the Cardinals gear up for their clash against the Titans, all eyes will be on how they address their injury concerns and whether new signings like running back Michael Carter can provide immediate relief. The team aims to regain momentum and improve their standings within the division, but they will need a cohesive effort to overcome the challenges ahead.
