The Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season can be summed up with one word…injuries. While it isn’t the sole reason why they are 3–12, it has certainly played a key role in the dysfunction. The team is limping into their Week 17 road matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals (5-10).
With that being said, the Cardinals had their second practice of the week, taking place on Christmas Day. Twelve players popped up on the team’s injury report; half of them were non-participants.
Two of the big names who haven’t practiced this week are edge rusher Josh Sweat (ankle/knee) and safety Budda Baker (concussion/thumb).
