Lions Face Cardinals' Perimeter Rush Threat and Blitz Vulnerability

The Detroit Lions prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5, focusing on exploiting Arizona's struggles against blitzes and perimeter run defenses. While the Cardinals' offense relies heavily on outside rushing and tight end play, their quarterback Jacoby Brissett performs poorly under pressure. The Lions' defense must improve edge discipline to counter Arizona's successful stretch runs, while their offense should capitalize on the Cardinals' inability to generate pressure without blitzing.

Cardinals Defend Harrison Jr. Amid Viral Effort Criticism and Trade Speculation

Arizona Cardinals leadership is pushing back against viral criticism of Marvin Harrison Jr.'s effort after a slow 2026 start. While the 2024 No. 4 overall pick has recorded only one catch for 33 yards in two games, quarterback Jacoby Brissett and head coach Mike LaFleur insist the team has not lost confidence in him.

Trade speculation grows as Marvin Harrison Jr. remains sidelined in Arizona

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. faces potential trade rumors after recording only one catch for 33 yards on four targets through two games. While head coach Mike LaFleur defends Harrison's effort, citing a 'long season' and the presence of other reliable pass-catchers, former Pro Bowler T.J. Houshmandzadeh argues the player has checked out. ESPN reports that league executives are monitoring the situation, noting that the Cardinals may struggle to pay Harrison's extension-eligible salary if his production does not improve. The team is currently 1-1, with key targets going to tight end Trey McBride and wide receiver Michael Wilson Jr.

Brissett Could Be Midseason Trade Asset If Cardinals Falter

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggests Jacoby Brissett could be a midseason trade candidate if he performs well and the Cardinals falter, as Arizona weighs what it has in Carson Beck. Brissett threw for 281 yards per game in 12 starts last season, but the Cardinals went 1-11; thus, he could serve as a valuable backup or injury fill-in at the trade deadline if the team’s fortunes don’t improve.

Cardinals optimistic on Carson Beck as he shows progress behind Brissett

Arizona's rookie Carson Beck impressed in his preseason debut with strong pre-snap work, blitz recognition and smart decision-making, fueling optimism that he could become an NFL starter someday. For now, Jacoby Brissett remains the expected Week 1 QB after signing a one-year, $15.5 million deal, with Gardner Minshew as depth; Beck’s continued progress in OTAs, camp and the preseason is keeping the buzz alive around his long-term potential.

QB Battles Set the Stage for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL Season

NFL training camps spotlight four QB battles for Week 1 of 2026: Kyler Murray vs. J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota (Murray favored to win), Tua Tagovailoa vs. Michael Penix Jr. (Penix hobbled by ACL rehab while Tagovailoa deals with a minor back issue, keeping Tagovailoa ahead), Deshaun Watson vs. Shedeur Sanders in Cleveland (Sanders gaining traction but Watson’s longer track record keeps him in the mix), and Kirk Cousins vs. Fernando Mendoza in Las Vegas (Cousins as the starter with Mendoza on a patient development path). The piece also flags veterans like Baker Mayfield, Jacoby Brissett, Geno Smith, and Malik Willis as players who must prove their worth to secure future roles. Predictions: Murray, Tagovailoa, Watson, and Cousins win Week 1 starts, with Mendoza waiting in the wings.

Brissett: Learning Curve Ahead as Cardinals Install Hackett's Offense

Jacoby Brissett reworked his Cardinals contract and says he doesn’t yet know the offense under new OC Nathaniel Hackett, calling it a Day 1 install and promising to put in the work during training camp. Brissett started 12 of 14 games last season for Arizona, compiling 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and a 64.9% completion rate, and now must adapt to Hackett’s system as he aims to build on what was the best season of his career. The deal is worth $15.5 million with incentives up to $21 million, up from a $4.9 million base.

Brissett seeks Week 1 starter role as Cardinals push offense forward

Fresh off a new contract, Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is focused on learning the new offense and earning the Week 1 starting job, admitting he got only about three hours of sleep during contract talks. In the second open practice, he showed a spark—completing a 21-yard pass to Tejhaun Palmer and two red‑zone TDs to Xavier Weaver—while teammates and coaches indicate Brissett is the likely Week 1 starter on Sept. 13, with Minshew II and Beck continuing to compete but facing growing pains.
