Crawford (undisclosed) announced his retirement Tuesday, per his personal Twitter account. Crawford spent the 2020 campaign with the Titans and played in all 16 games, registering 28 tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble, but he didn't suit up for the Cardinals in 2021 due to an undisclosed injury. The 10-year veteran ends his NFL career with 164 tackles, 18 sacks, three forced fumbles and one interception.

The Cardinals placed Crawford (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports. Crawford spent the 2020 campaign with the Titans and played in all 16 games, registering 28 tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble. The nine-year veteran was in place for a sizeable workload behind J.J. Watt, but now that opportunity shifts to Zach Allen, Michael Dogbe and Josh Mauro as they compete for the backup role.

The Titans placed Crawford (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday. Crawford has either tested positive for the virus or has been in close contact with someone who has. The 31-year-old defensive end registered 24 tackles over 16 games with the Falcons in 2019, and he'll remain away from the team until he passes the proper procedures.

Crawford (thigh) was a limited participant at Friday's practice and is expected to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports. Crawford will suit up and serve in a depth role behind starting defensive tackles Grady Jarrett and Tyeler Davison. He will look to pick up his first sack of the season against Jacksonville quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Crawford (thigh) sat out Wednesday's practice session, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports. After Crawford collected a career-best six sacks and 35 tackles in 2018, the arrow was pointing up on his career, and the team entered 2019 with optimism about his ability to contribute to a stingy defensive operation. The season so far has not gone according to plan, however, as Crawford remains without a sack heading into Week 16. He has been a steady contributor throughout the season by fielding at least 20 percent of the defensive snaps in every contest, but Crawford has now gone eight games without recording a start, after starting four times between Weeks 1 and 6. If able to fully recover from his injury in short order, Crawford could see an uptick in involvement over the final two weeks with Takkarist McKinley (shoulder) now on injured reserve.
