Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Jacoby Brissett may be in line for another spot start while
Kyler Murray (foot) remains questionable ahead of their Week 7 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. The fact that the Cardinals enter their bye week after this game could encourage them to be more cautious with Murray. With that being said, Brissett did lead the Cardinals to their best output through the air in terms of both passing yards and touchdowns. The Packers are the fifth-ranked defense overall, but have given up at least 200 yards and two scores to quarterbacks in their last two games. Murray still has a chance to play in this contest, but if Brissett is under center, fantasy managers in deeper leagues can look to Brissett to provide some value in tough situations.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Zay Jones (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 7, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Jones missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to return to a limited session on Friday, giving him a chance to be active this weekend. The 30-year-old wideout had his best showing of the 2025 campaign in last Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, when he caught five of his eight targets from backup quarterback
Jacoby Brissett for a season-high 79 yards. The caveat is that top receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (head) suffered a concussion early in that game and never returned. Harrison has since cleared the league's concussion protocol and has been cleared to play this Sunday, so Jones' chances of a repeat of his Week 6 are unlikely, if he even plays. If Jones is unable to play,
Michael Wilson should serve as the team's WR behind Harrison.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) is officially listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Murray is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a foot sprain. He was limited in all three practice sessions this week. The Cardinals are likely going to wait and see how he feels closer to game-time before they make a final decision.
Jacoby Brissett could be asked to make his second straight start this weekend. He completed 27-of-44 passing attempts for 320 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts. There could be some low-end streaming value here if Brissett is asked to make another start.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (head) cleared the league's concussion protocol, was upgraded to a full practice participant on Friday, and was removed from the final Week 7 injury report, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Despite suffering a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Harrison will play this Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers. Although the 23-year-old will be active this weekend, it looks like he might be taking passes from veteran quarterback
Jacoby Brissett for the second straight week with
Kyler Murray still battling a foot sprain. However, with Harrison and Murray struggling to find improved chemistry for the second straight season, a Brissett-Harrison connection may actually be a plus for fantasy purposes. The Packers' defense has been a middle-of-the-pack unit against opposing receivers in terms of fantasy points per game.

When asked about whether Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) remains the team's starter, Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort said, "We're going to continue to try and get Kyler where he can get back to doing the things he can do on the field. When he's doing that, he'll be out there." Murray missed Week 6 due to a foot injury and is in danger of missing his team's Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. While Ossenfort implied that Murray will take the field once healthy, he didn't exactly provide a ringing endorsement of his 28-year-old quarterback. Murray has had an up-and-down season, completing 68.3% of his pass attempts for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions across five games. With Murray sidelined in Week 6, veteran Cardinals quarterback
Jacoby Brissett threw for 320 yards and nearly led the team to an upset victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Regardless of Murray's health status, it appears the team is at least exploring all of its options under center.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 7 this Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. Demercado suffered an ankle injury in last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts and was unable to practice all week. The 26-year-old will now have next week's bye to heal up before potentially returning for a Week 9 contest versus the Dallas Cowboys. Demercado was a popular waiver-wire addition when
Trey Benson (knee) suffered a knee injury in Week 4, but it was
Michael Carter, not Demercado, who took over the majority of backfield work for the Cardinals. Arizona then went to
Bam Knight as their primary backfield option in Week 6, with Carter taking on most of the pass-catching duties. Expect that to continue against Green Bay, with
D'Ernest Johnson or
Jermar Jefferson serving in the RB3 role with Demercado out.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Friday that quarterback
Kyler Murray's (foot) status for the Week 7 contest on Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers will be evaluated in the next 48 hours, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. Murray suffered a mid-foot sprain in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans and sat out of last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 28-year-old was limited in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday, so he will likely need to practice in full on Friday to avoid a questionable tag going into the weekend. Murray is truly up in the air, but with Arizona's bye coming in Week 8, it feels as though they are going to err on the side of caution and keep him out for a second straight week, especially after veteran backup
Jacoby Brissett played surprisingly well last Sunday. If Murray doesn't play this Sunday, his next chance to suit up would be on Nov. 3 against the Dallas Cowboys.

For the second straight day this week, Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) was limited in practice on Thursday as he tends to a mid-foot sprain, according to Arizona Sports' Tyler Drake. Murray suffered a mid-foot sprain in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans and was inactive in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 28-year-old may need to upgrade to a full practice on Friday to avoid missing a second straight game this Sunday versus the visiting Green Bay Packers, especially since backup
Jacoby Brissett showed well in his spot start last weekend. Murray will be more of a QB2 for fantasy managers if he's able to start in Week 7, with top receivers
Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) and
Zay Jones (knee) nursing injuries that could keep them out against the Packers. Scrambling and using his legs is a big part of Murray's fantasy appeal, so although it's not believed to be a serious injury, it's worrisome for his managers.

October 16, 2025
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Harrison was seen catching passes from backup quarterback
Jacoby Brissett during practice on Thursday while wearing a non-contact jersey. The 23-year-old former first-rounder suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts and is now in the league's concussion protocol. It's good news that he has practiced on Wednesday and Thursday, but Harrison still needs to be cleared by an independent neurologist and is up in the air to play this weekend against the visiting Green Bay Packers. If he does get cleared, Harrison could be working with Brissett on offense with
Kyler Murray potentially missing a second straight game with a mid-foot sprain.
Zay Jones (knee) missed a second straight practice on Thursday, so if Harrison and Jones both cannot play, Arizona would be down to
Michael Wilson (foot) and
Greg Dortch as their top two receivers on Sunday.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday after he was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Knight was surprisingly Arizona's backfield leader in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but he came out of that game a little banged up. However, his return to a full practice on Thursday puts him on track to play this Sunday versus the visiting Green Bay Packers. Knight played 37 offensive snaps on Sunday and had 12 touches for 54 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile,
Michael Carter played 32 snaps, had 11 touches, and totaled 64 scrimmage yards. The 24-year-old Knight is worth a waiver-wire pickup if he's still available in your league, but the Cardinals could go with the hot hand moving forward with
Trey Benson (knee) on Injured Reserve. At best, Knight is setting up as a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex this week against Green Bay.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Michael Carter had his snaps scaled back in the team's loss to the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday, ceding work to teammate
Bam Knight (knee). However, Carter could see his role expand again in Week 7, as he's currently the only active RB without an injury designation. The Cardinals' backfield has already taken significant hits with injuries to
James Conner (foot) and
Trey Benson (knee). Now,
Emari Demercado (ankle) and Knight have missed practice time with injury. Carter has been inefficient in his work thus far, but the team may be forced to utilize him more as they try to figure out a backfield rotation that yields dividends. Even if the fifth-year pro gets the lion's share of opportunities this weekend, he'll be a low-end option for his matchup with the league's No. 1 team against the run, the Green Bay Packers.

Coming off 54 total yards and a touchdown last week, Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) looks to be a continued part of the team's backfield in the absence of its top two running backs.
James Conner (ankle) is out for the year and
Trey Benson (knee) isn't eligible to return until Week 10, giving Knight some low-end roster appeal while splitting carries with
Michael Carter. Both backs drew exactly 11 carries last week against Indianapolis, a split workload that seems likely as long as Benson is unavailable. Knight was limited in Wednesday's practice, however, which managers will want to monitor as game day gets closer.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Zay Jones (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, while
Michael Wilson (foot) was listed as limited. The Cardinals suffered multiple injuries to wide receivers in Week 6, with
Marvin Harrison Jr. leaving with a concussion as well. Jones is coming off his best game of the season, catching five of his eight targets for 79 yards. Wilson left early with an injury after catching four of five targets for 44 yards. Their statuses will be monitored throughout the week, and
Greg Dortch would be a name to watch if Jones and Wilson are unable to play on Sunday.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) was limited in Wednesday's walk-through, according to the team. Knight handled 11 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown last week against Indianapolis and apparently banged up his knee at some point. He essentially split touches with
Michael Carter, who had 13 touches. It looks like both Carter and Knight will handle the bulk of the running back touches moving forward, which creates a messy situation for fantasy. They also have a tough Week 7 matchup against a stingy Green Bay defense. Knight will likely rank in the low-end RB3 territory for Sunday.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he was listed as limited for the team's walk-through practice on Wednesday, according to Zach Gershman of AZCardinals.com. Harrison's status for the Week 7 contest against the visiting Green Bay Packers on Sunday is up in the air after he suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. It's a good sign that he was on the practice field on Wednesday, but the second-year pass-catcher will need to gain clearance from the league's concussion protocol later this week to play on Sunday. Arizona's WR corps is banged up right now, with
Zay Jones (knee) missing practice, and
Michael Wilson (foot) being limited. If Harrison gets the green light to play, he could be working with backup quarterback
Jacoby Brissett for a second straight game, with
Kyler Murray dealing with a mid-foot sprain.
