Cardinals' Antoine Wesley: Recovering from torn quadriceps
Wesley sustained torn quadriceps during the week ahead of Arizona's loss versus Philadelphia on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Though initially thought to be an aggravation of a prior hip injury, it's actually ruptured quadriceps muscles that will keep Wesley out for the remainder of the 2022 campaign. The Cardinals will probably continue to rely on A.J. Green to perform the offensive functions with which Wesley might otherwise have been tasked.

Cardinals' Antoine Wesley: Close to returning
Wesley (hip) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday.
Wesley has missed the minimum four games since being placed on IR on Sept. 2. He'll have three weeks to be moved to the active roster, but he can return as soon as Sunday against the Eagles. Wesley was expected to play a significant role early in the season with DeAndre Hopkins serving a suspension, but his hip injury derailed those plans. With Hopkins' return still a couple weeks away, and A.J. Green (knee) uncertain for Week 5, Wesley could see a prominent role Sunday against the Eagles if he can suit up.

Cardinals' Antoine Wesley: Surgery possible
Wesley may need surgery on his injured groin/hip, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Wesley picked up the issue at Thursday's practice and subsequently underwent an MRI.

With DeAndre Hopkins slated to miss the first six games of the season due to suspension, Wesley is in line to handle a decent number of reps as an outside receiver during that span, assuming he's healthy.

Wesley hauled in 19 of 32 targets for 208 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games during the 2021 season.
The Ravens signed Wesley as an undrafted free agent in May 2019, but he didn't log his first NFL action until Week 3 of this past campaign as a member of the Cardinals. His first catch as a pro came in Week 8, and the 6-foot-4 wide receiver eventually became a regular in Arizona's offense when DeAndre Hopkins missed the majority of the second half of the season due to hamstring and knee injuries. In particular, Wesley was targeted six times in the red zone from Weeks 15-17, when he tallied his trio of scores. An exclusive rights free agent this offseason, he's limited to signing the contract tendered to him by the Cardinals.
