Arizona Cardinals Placing Star RB on Injured Reserve After Week 8 Win vs. Dallas Cowboys

The Arizona Cardinals have placed rookie running back Jeremiyah Love on injured reserve after a high‑ankle sprain suffered in the overtime win over the Dallas Cowboys. Love, the No. 3 pick in the 2026 draft, posted 268 rushing yards, a rushing TD, and a receiving TD in 76 carries before the injury sidelined him for at least four weeks. Tyler Allgeier is expected to shoulder the load as the Cardinals head into a tough stretch that includes games against Seattle, the Rams, and the Chiefs. Love could return after the Week 14 bye, possibly on Dec. 20 versus the Jets.

Pacific Notes: D. Green, Bassey, J. Green, Cardwell, Acuff

Warriors forward Draymond Green receives his first ejection of the season (31st career) after a scuffle with Dillon Brooks during the Warriors' 116-113 win over Phoenix on Nov. 3, sparking a comeback that extended Golden State's streak to five. Charles Bassey steps up, delivering 25 points and 18 rebounds over two games to bolster a center rotation reshaped by Kristaps Porzingis' illness. Meanwhile, Suns guard Jalen Green struggles with shooting (6‑of‑20 FG, 0‑of‑6 3‑pt) despite posting 8 assists and rebounds, and Phoenix's most-used lineup posts a -29.9 net rating. Sacramento Kings lose Dylan Cardwell to a calf strain but snap a six‑game skid as rookie guard Darius Acuff Jr. scores 25 in a win over Dallas, earning praise from coach Doug Christie and teammate Malik Monk.

Kendrick Perkins Says Draymond Green Has Been “a Liability More Than an Asset” After His Ejection, and Dillon Brooks Says He Was “Tweaking All Game”

Kendrick Perkins labels Warriors forward Draymond Green a "liability more than an asset" after Green’s ejection in a 116‑113 win over the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 2. The incident began when Suns center Khaman Maluach knocked Green down, prompting Green to shove him and spark a scuffle with Dillon Brooks, who later said Green was "tweaking all game." Green, averaging 3.2 points, 6.3 assists and 5.0 rebounds in his first six games, left early in the third quarter, yet Golden State rallied behind Stephen Curry’s 34 points and Charles Bassey’s career‑high 19. Opinions split on whether Green ignited the comeback or hurt the team.

Cardinals’ Jeremiyah Love hits injured reserve following high-ankle sprain

Rookie running back Jeremiyah Love is placed on injured reserve after suffering a high‑ankle sprain that will sideline him for 4–5 weeks. The first‑round pick, who has been productive when healthy, exited the Cardinals’ narrow overtime win over the Dallas Cowboys—an upset sparked by Gardner Minshew’s second‑half heroics. Despite the victory, Arizona’s playoff hopes remain slim as they prepare for a road game against the Seattle Seahawks next Sunday.

Who is more to blame, the Cowboys offense or the defense?

SB Nation Reacts asks Cowboys fans to weigh in on the 30‑30 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, dissecting whether the offense or defense bears more blame. The piece highlights the offense’s missed opportunities despite CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens sitting out key plays, while also noting their 30‑point output and late‑quarter leads. On defense, the author points to a 27‑point collapse in a 16.5‑minute span after Gardner Minshew and Tyler Allgeier took over, labeling it "mathematically improbable." Both sides get counter‑arguments, and a poll invites readers to vote and comment on the team’s future confidence.

Diamondbacks Need More Luck

The AZ Snake Pit reflects on the Arizona Diamondbacks' near‑misses over the past three seasons (89, 80 and 86 wins) and argues that incremental player tweaks and optimism aren’t enough. Citing a July sweep of the Dodgers as a lucky underdog win, the piece stresses that deliberately cultivating luck through trial‑and‑error and continuous, broadly‑sourced improvement ideas could finally push the team into the playoffs. It urges manager Torey Lovullo to experiment, seek advice from trusted outsiders, and adopt small‑downside tweaks that force opponents to react, turning rare opportunities into decisive advantages.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love Going On IR Due To High-Ankle Sprain

Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love is placed on injured reserve after suffering a high‑ankle sprain that sidelines him for four to five weeks, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports. Coach Mike LaFleur noted this is a different injury from the ankle issue Love had in camp. The 21‑year‑old rookie, a 2025 Doak Walker Award winner from Notre Dame, has played six games this season, logging 268 rushing yards on 76 carries (3.5 YPC) and one rushing and one receiving touchdown. He signed a four‑year, $53.87 million contract with a $35.64 million signing bonus.

Warriors rumors: The drastic Kristaps Porzingis path Dubs will not take

The Golden State Warriors have won five straight games without Kristaps Porzingis, who remains out with a lingering health issue. While trade rumors swirl, the team rules out the extreme option of voiding Porzingis’ contract, citing cap complications, according to Danny Emerman of the San Francisco Standard. Acquired last season for Jonathan Kuminga, Porzingis has missed significant time but showed flashes alongside Curry and Green. With Stephen Curry still lighting up the court and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg emerging as a potential Rookie of the Year, the Warriors face the Miami Heat Thursday, seemingly moving forward without him.

Cardinals signing young tight end to practice squad amid plethora of injuries

After a 33-30 win over Dallas in Week 8, the Arizona Cardinals battle a slew of injuries and add rookie tight end Rivaldo Fairweather to their practice squad. Fairweather, who led the preseason with 13 catches and spent last year on the Cowboys’ practice roster, goes undrafted in 2025 but posted 123 receptions for 1,604 yards and 13 touchdowns at FIU and Auburn. With nine players on IR and starters like WR Michael Wilson and RB Jeremiyah Love dealing with broken ribs and an ankle injury, the squad hopes Fairweather might earn his first NFL game as depth tight end heading into Week 9.

Ravens poach QB Kedon Slovis off Packers’ practice squad

The Baltimore Ravens sign former Arizona Cardinals QB Kedon Slovis off the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad to bolster the third‑string role after Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley go down. Slovis, 25, entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2024 and has only five regular‑season snaps, but posted strong preseason numbers with the Packers (434 yards, 83.6 PFF grade). He joins a tight Ravens QB room that also includes Joe Fagnano, Austin Reed, and a potential look at Adrian Martinez. Slovis faces a quick learning curve as the Ravens aim to address their injury‑hit depth chart.

Stephen Curry’s free throw streak ending at 51 nearly blows Warriors game, but Suns fail to capitalize

Stephen Curry’s 51‑straight free‑throw streak ends in the Warriors’ 116‑113 win over the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 3, 2026. The 38‑year‑old dropped his 52nd attempt in the closing seconds, giving Phoenix a chance they couldn’t convert. Curry finished with 34 points, six rebounds, seven assists and 11‑of‑12 from the line, while shooting 42.8% overall. The victory pushes Golden State to a 5‑3 record and sets up Curry for a fresh streak against the Miami Heat on Thursday.

Jerry Jones’ delusional outlook explains why he’s not firing Cowboys’ Brian Schottenheimer

After the Cowboys' worst loss of the 2026 season—a 28‑24 overtime defeat to the Arizona Cardinals—owner Jerry Jones says he won’t fire head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Jones argues the game plan was intentionally conservative to protect Dak Prescott and improve the run game, despite fan criticism. The loss drops Dallas to 3‑5, marking the second consecutive home collapse to the Cardinals, but the team remains in the NFC East playoff hunt as they prepare for a road game at the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday.

Shams gives update on Warriors’ Draymond Green punishment after fiery ejection vs. Suns

The Warriors secured a fifth straight win, edging the Phoenix Suns 112‑109 on Monday, but the night was marred by Draymond Green’s ejection after an on‑court clash with Dillon Brooks. NBA insider Shams Charania told The Pat McAfee Show that Green faces no further suspension or discipline.

Cardinals Signing TE Rivaldo Fairweather

The Arizona Cardinals have added 24‑year‑old tight end Rivaldo Fairweather to their practice squad, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz. Fairweather entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Dallas Cowboys after the 2025 draft, spent time on their practice squad, and was signed by Arizona in December before being cut in the preseason. In college he logged 123 catches for 1,604 yards and 13 TDs across 51 games at FIU and Auburn.

Phoenix is falling behind, and there’s no room for another slow start

The Phoenix Suns sit 12th in the Western Conference after a 1‑4 start to the 2026‑27 season, sparking concerns that they’re falling behind the postseason “train.” Unlike last year’s comparable start—when the Suns were only 3 games from first and managed to rally—this year's early losses leave them 4.5 games back of the league-leading Rockets and add pressure amid higher local expectations. Injuries to players like Mark Williams and inconsistent execution are cited as key issues, while anti‑tanking draft rules mean a poor finish could still yield a low lottery chance, potentially benefiting rivals. The author argues the Suns must act quickly on the trade market to avoid a season‑long slump.

Cowboys coaches and players are failing at every turn

After a baffling 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys slump to 3-5, marking the fifth straight defeat to Arizona and an unbeaten streak for the Cardinals at AT&T Stadium. A 14-point fourth‑quarter lead evaporated when backup Gardner Minshew replaced Jacoby Brissett, throwing three TDs as the defense collapsed. Tyler Allgeier exploded for 191 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, yet the Cowboys could not contain the Cardinals’ 27 second‑half points. Coach Brian Schottenheimer’s overly conservative play‑calling in the final minutes—opting for a run and a sack instead of aggressive passing—sealed the loss, raising questions about the team’s preparation, identity, and ability to close games.

Jerry Jones Offers Terrible Reason For Being Cheap With His Head Coaches, And It Should Piss Off Every Cowboys Fan Out There [VIDEO]

After a 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals that dropped the Dallas Cowboys to 3-5, owner Jerry Jones defended his low‑pay approach to head coaches on 105.3 The Fan’s Shan & RJ show. Jones claimed there’s “zero correlation” between coach salary and winning, despite criticism of second‑year coach Brian Schoutenheimer, who was promoted from offensive coordinator and now sits at 10-14-1. The article notes former Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy’s 6-2 start with the Steelers and highlights ongoing media backlash, including jokes from Michael Irvin and Stephen A. Smith. The Cowboys face the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday.

Stephen Curry pours in 34 points, seven assists and six rebounds as the Golden State Warriors rally from a 17‑point hole to beat the Phoenix Suns 116‑113 at Chase Center, extending their winning streak to five. The Warriors surge in the third quarter, outscoring Phoenix 42‑36, with Brandin Podziemski adding 20 points and Georges Niang 13 off the bench. Devin Booker leads Phoenix with 26 points, but the Suns fall to 1‑4 and a three‑game skid. The victory moves Golden State to 5‑3, just one game behind the Lakers in the Pacific Division.

Jerry Jones Takes Shot at Dak Prescott’s Offense, Demands More From Cowboys QB

After a 33-30 overtime loss to Arizona that dropped Dallas to 3-5, owner‑coach Jerry Jones publicly blames quarterback Dak Prescott for the Cowboys’ offensive slide. While Jones praises the defense’s rebuilding under coordinator Christian Parker, he says the offense—ranked seventh overall but faltering after a strong start—must step up. Prescott’s production fell from 30.5 points per game and eight touchdowns in the first four games to 14.5 points and four interceptions over the next two, with the running game sputtering and key receivers George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb underutilized. Jones urges Prescott to deliver more ball and points as Dallas fights to regain its footing.

Michael Irred on ESPN’s First Take ignites controversy after the Dallas Cowboys’ 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Irvin lashes out at head coach Brian Schottenheimer, claiming even his “dead mom” could coach the team better, a remark that shocks host Stephen A. Smith and sparks a wave of disbelief on social media. The defeat drops Dallas to 3-5, ending a rare home‑lead‑by‑14‑points‑in‑the‑fourth‑quarter streak, and the Cowboys will face the Indianapolis Colts next week while owner Jerry Jones vows to keep Schottenheimer.

Rumored Dallas Cowboys Trade For Josh Sweat VERY Unlikely After New Report: Who Could They Target Instead?

After a 26.6‑point per game defense and a 3‑5 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys' push for an edge‑rusher hits a snag: a new report says a Josh Sweat trade is unlikely due to Arizona’s high asking price. Insider Jason La Canfora notes Jerry Jones remains "all‑in" on boosting the pass rush, but the Cowboys may need to pivot to other names. Maxx Crosby and veteran Khalil Mack emerge as top alternatives, with Mack—now on an expiring contract—offering a cheaper, high‑impact option if the Chargers move early. The article weighs these options ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
