Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Dealing with concussion
Weaver is in concussion protocol after Thursday's preseason game versus the Panthers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Weaver presumably suffered the concussion during the Hall of Fame Game, and there's no word yet on when he'll be available again. In the meantime, rookie fifth-rounder Reggie Virgil and free-agent acquisition Devin Duvernay could get a bump up in the receiver rotation.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Gets involved before injury
Weaver (concussion) caught three of five targets for 31 yards during Thursday's 33-30 preseason loss versus the Panthers.
Weaver was second among Arizona receivers in targets in the preseason opener, but he finished out the day in concussion protocol. He is a legitimate candidate to earn a depth role among Cardinals receivers in 2026 provided he can get back on the field in good time.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Gets more run in second season
Weaver compiled seven catches (on 13 targets) for 67 yards and two kick returns for 51 yards in 10 regular-season contests in 2025.
Prior to Week 11, Weaver earned a scant 22 offensive snaps in four appearances, but in the six games in which he was available after that point, his weekly snap shares ranged from 44 to 78 percent. He played second fiddle, at best, in the receiving corps behind Michael Wilson, who emerged as the Cardinals' No. 1 WR in the second half of the campaign while Marvin Harrison battled first a heel injury and then a foot issue, but Weaver made only minimal marks in box scores. A 2024 undrafted free agent, he heads into the offseason as one of seven wide receivers under contract for Arizona, but considering two of those are Wilson and Harrison, Weaver doesn't have much upward mobility in this offense.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Makes two catches in Week 17
Weaver recorded two catches (on three targets) for 24 yards during Sunday's 37-14 defeat at Cincinnati.
Weaver ranked second among Cardinals wide receivers in offensive snap share (67 percent) behind Michael Wilson (86 percent), which was somewhat aided by Marvin Harrison's (33 percent) early exit in the fourth quarter after he suffered what eventually was called a foot injury (as opposed to his lingering heel issue). The workload was Weaver's third highest of the campaign, and the second-year pro actually set a career high in receiving yards Sunday. Even if Harrison is inhibited or sidelined Week 18 at the Rams, Weaver is an unlikely candidate to produce in that contest considering Wilson and TE Trey McBride have been absorbing most of the targets down the stretch of the current campaign.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Two grabs in return
Weaver caught both of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.
The Colorado product had missed the Cardinals' two games due to a hamstring injury, but he returned and tallied the fourth-most receiving yards on the team during Sunday's loss. Weaver has appeared in eight games this season, catching five of 10 targets for 43 yards. He's expected to remain a depth option in Arizona's receiving corps in the Week 17 matchup against the Bengals.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Returns in Week 16
Weaver (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Weaver has missed the last two contests due to a hamstring injury, but his return to action coincides with Marvin Harrison's (heel), meaning the former likely will remain a tertiary player in the Cardinals' passing game in Week 16. Fellow WRs Michael Wilson, Jalen Brooks and Steven Sims also are available to the offense.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Questionable for Week 16
Weaver (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Any fantasy interest in Weaver likely would entail Marvin Harrison (questionable - heel) missing another game, and even then it would only be a consideration in the deepest of formats. Weaver appears truly questionable after logging limited practices Wednesday through Friday this week.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Another limited showing
Weaver (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Weaver maintained his activity level from Wednesday's walkthrough, but he now has just one more chance to get back to full this week, or else he'll be at risk of entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game versus the Falcons. With Marvin Harrison also being limited this week after missing the last two contests due to a heel injury, Michael Wilson and Jalen Brooks are the only healthy wide receivers on Arizona's active roster at the moment.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Limited at walkthrough
Weaver (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Both Weaver and Marvin Harrison (heel) returned to the practice field Wednesday, but both players have some work to do to prove their respective levels of health ahead of Sunday's game versus the Falcons. Currently, Michael Wilson and Jalen Brooks are the only healthy wide receivers on Arizona's active roster.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Ruled out for Week 15
Weaver (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Weaver has not yet practiced in any capacity since he popped up on last Thursday's injury report with a hamstring issue. With Marvin Harrison (heel) also ruled out versus Houston, expect at least two of Jalen Brooks, Bryson Green, Tejhaun Palmer, Trent Sherfield or Steven Sims to be elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's contest.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Still not practicing
Weaver (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Weaver hasn't practiced since last Thursday, when he initially popped up as limited due to a hamstring injury. He, along with top WR Marvin Harrison (heel), hasn't been able to mix into drills so far this week, seemingly putting both players on the outside looking in to play Sunday at Houston. Currently, Michael Wilson and Andre Baccellia are the only healthy options at the position on the Cardinals' active roster, while Jalen Brooks, Trent Sherfield, Tejhaun Palmer, Bryson Green and Steven Sims are possible practice-squad elevations for Week 15 action.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Weaver (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Both Weaver and Marvin Harrison (heel) sat out drills to begin Week 14 prep, meaning Michael Wilson and Andre Baccellia are the only healthy wide receivers on the Cardinals' active roster at the moment. The team elevated Jalen Brooks and Trent Sherfield from the practice squad for this past Sunday's game against the Rams, and similar transactions likely will come to pass if one or both of Harrison and Weaver are sidelined again Sunday at Houston. Ultimately, Weaver likely will need to practice Thursday and/or Friday in order to have a chance to suit up this weekend.

Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Inactive in Week 14
Weaver (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Rams.
In a receiving corps that already was trending toward being without Marvin Harrison (heel) and Greg Dortch (chest) in Week 14, Weaver showed up on Thursday's injury report as limited due to a hamstring issue and then wasn't able to practice at all Friday, leaving him questionable for Sunday's game. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported Saturday evening that Weaver wasn't in line to play this weekend, which now has come to pass. With Harrison also inactive and Dortch placed on injured reserve Saturday, the Cardinals will be rolling with Trent Sherfield, Andre Baccellia and Jalen Brooks at wide receiver behind clear-cut No. 1 option Michael Wilson.
