The Arizona Cardinals have 1 win and 2 losses in 3 games this season. In Week 1, they lost 34-28 against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Kyker Murray and the Cardinals were at home in Week 2 and beat the Rams 41-10. They went home again in Week 3 and lost 20-13 in a tough game against the Detroit Lions.
This Sunday, the Cardinals are scheduled to play at home against the Washington Commanders. In a Week 3 loss to the Lions, TE Trey McBride suffered a concussion and did not practice all week. On Friday, it was reported that McBride would miss Arizona’s Week 4 game against Washington. Not a good fit for a Cardinals team trying to get back to a .500 record.
Trey McBride (concussion) will not play for Cardinals in Week 4.

With a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Cardinals selected TE Trey McBride out of Colorado State. In three seasons in Arizona, McBride appeared in 36 games and made 28 starts. As a rookie in 2022, he appeared in 16 of the Cardinals’ 17 games and made 13 starts. He caught 29 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown. The talented TE had a breakout year in 2023, recording 81 catches on 101 targets for 825 yards and three touchdowns.
In three games this season, McBride has 14 catches for 122 yards. Last Sunday, the 24-year-old used his helmet to collide with a Lions defender when he was tackled. McBride suffered a severe blow to the head and was ruled out of the game with a concussion. Arizona will miss McBride for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers. However, the team does have a capable backup TE, Elijah Higgins. The 2023 sixth-round pick caught all four of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in 2024. Higgins needs to step up in Week 4 to help the team get a win.
