  Cardinals | Arizona's Week 11 injury report    Sat Nov 19, 06:22 PM

Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (knee), OT D.J. Humphries (back) and CB Byron Murphy (back) were ruled out on the final Week 11 injury report Saturday, Nov. 19. OG Max Garcia (shoulder, WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) and QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) are listed as questionable. S Budda Baker (ankle), LB Markus Golden (illness), QB Colt McCoy (knee) and PK Matt Prater (hip, illness) were taken off the injury report.

Footballguys view: Hopkins and Murray are game time decisions. Make sure you have an injury hedge on your bench if you are relying on one of them. Murphy is a key to the team's pass defense, so his loss could make things a lot easier for Jimmy Garoppolo and company.

  Giants | Markus Golden shipped to Arizona    Fri Oct 23, 05:02 PM

New York Giants LB Markus Golden was traded to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for a 2021 sixth-round draft pick Friday, Oct. 23.

Footballguys view: Golden was a second round pick of the Cardinals in 2015 and the organization knows him well. It was a minimal price for a previously productive pass rusher, which was a big need after Chandler Jones was lost for the year.

  Jets | NYJ unlikely to pursue top DE free agents    Sun Jul 12, 01:32 PM

Free-agent DEs Jadeveon Clowney (Seahawks), Everson Griffen (Vikings) and DE Markus Golden (Giants) likely will not receive interest from the New York Jets because the team wants to move their unspent salary cap space to next season, in the opinion of the New York Post's Brian Costello.

Footballguys view: The Jets are still looking to the future and don't want to invest to upgrade the leagues' most underwhelming edge rush group. Golden is likely to return to the Giants, Clowney could still end up with the Seahawks, but Griffen is almost certainly not coming back to the Vikings.
