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 are signing QB Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal, according to multiple reports. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero says it's a $5.75 million pact that could be worth as much as $8 million.

RB Tyler Allgeier signed a two-year, $12.25 million contract with the Cardinals, joining James Conner and Trey Benson. After serving as the backup to Bijan Robinson over the past three seasons, Allgeier will compete for carries in a crowded situation. Conner took a paycut to stay with the Cardinals, so Allgeier could lead the backfield in touches. But this certainly wasn't the ideal signing for Allgeier's fantasy value in 2026.

RB James Conner and the Cardinals have agreed to a revised contract to keep him in Arizona for the 2026 season. "Conner was set to earn $6.39 million in 2026 with a $9.83 million cap hit. To avoid being released for cap savings, Conner's deal was revised," ESPN's Josh Weinfuss writes.

The Cardinals and new HC Mike LaFleur have hired Nathaniel Hackett as the new OC. Hackett served as the OC under Mike’s brother Matt in Green Bay from 2019-2021 before floundering as HC of the Denver Broncos in 2022. He also was the OC for the Jets from 2023-2024. Hackett’s familiarity with the LaFleur offense makes him a natural fit to run Mike’s offense.

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.

The Arizona Cardinals fired HC Jonathan Gannon after three seasons. This comes after the Cardinals went 3-14 in 2025. Gannon was a disappointment overall, going 15-36 over those three years. GM Monti Ossenfort will lead the search for a new head coach.

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.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. played only 33% of the snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. That ranked a distant third among Arizona WRs, behind Michael Wilson and Xavier Weaver. In fact, he only drew one official target, which didn't arrive until late in the second quarter. Harrison eventually left the game after re-injuring the same heel that made him a limited practice participant all week.

Cardinals Edge Josh Sweat, S Jalen Thompson, and CBs Max Melton and Will Johnson are active for today's game against the Bengals. Each player entered the day questionable. Thompson got the largest boost up our Week 17 IDP rankings.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He remained limited in practice all week and was listed as questionable. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that Harrison’s snaps will be “managed” today. He ran a route on just 61% of Arizona’s pass plays and drew three targets last week. Consider Harrison a risky WR3 play today.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is expected to play vs. the Bengals today but have his snaps "managed," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We got a similar report last Sunday, before Harrison was limited to a 61% route rate and three targets. A potential shootout vs. the Bengals at least keeps him on the fantasy radar. But it's worth noting that Cincinnati has been the seventh-toughest matchup for WRs this season.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals after a limited week of practice. He played through this issue last week and said Friday that he expects to play against Cincinnati. He’s clearly still not at 100%, though, leaving him as a risky Week 17 fantasy start. Harrison was limited to a 61% route rate and three targets last week.

Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew left the game against the Titans with a knee injury. Despite some fears of a torn ACL, tests showed that Minshew's ACL is in tact. He is still expected to miss time and not return this season. Ian Rapoport reports that the injury is specifcally a bad bone bruise, non-displaced tibial plateau fracture. Minshew was placed on IR. With Minshew missing the season, the Chiefs have signed QB Shane Buechele from the Bills' practice squad. He spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons with the Chiefs.

The Chiefs believe QB Gardner Minshew tore his left ACL in the loss to the Titans, according to Chiefs Digest's Matt Derrick. Minshew is scheduled for an MRI to confirm, but he likely becomes the second straight Chiefs QB to suffer a season-ending knee injury. Kansas City will be down to QB Chris Oladokun the rest of the way. The 28-year-old, 2022 seventh-round pick had not thrown a regular-season pass before going 11-of-16 for 111 yards vs. the Titans today. Other than maybe WR Rashee Rice and TE Travis Kelce, the Chiefs' passing game will be hands-off against the Broncos in Week 17.

Cardinals LB Cody Simon is active for today's game against the Falcons. He remained limited in practice all week, listed with knee and ankle issues. But Simon's likely the best bet to lead Arizona LBs in playing time. His return knocks Akeem Davis-Gaither's playing time projection and moves him down our Week 16 LB rankings. Simon has posted modest fantasy numbers across five games of full-time duty.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable. Harrison said Friday that he's "good enough to go" for this game, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that the "team plans to ease him back in." It sounds like Harrison will be on some type of snap count, landing him in risk/reward WR3 range in the Week 16 rankings.

Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He went back to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. QB Chris Oladokun, who hadn't thrown a regular-season NFL pass coming into today, is now under center for the Chiefs.

Update: Minshew has been ruled out.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is expected to play vs. the Falcons today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport makes no mention of a snap count for Harrison, but ESPN's Adam Schefter says "team plans to ease him back in." Harrison said Friday that he's "good enough to go" for this one, so it's safe to assume he's not at 100%. It makes him a risky Week 16 fantasy play, although there's still plenty of upside in a Cardinals offense that's averaged 43 passes per game under QB Jacoby Brissett.
