Overview
- Houston won 40-20 after CJ Stroud hit Nico Collins for an early long touchdown and the ensuing kickoff was fumbled, building a 17-0 first-quarter lead.
- RB Bam Knight left after Arizona’s first offensive snap with an ankle injury and was carted to the locker room.
- Knight did not return and is likely to miss at least next week based on limited weight-bearing, according to Cards Wire.
- WR Andre Baccellia sustained a neck injury that required a hospital evaluation, had movement, and flew home with the team, while LB Cody Simon left with a knee injury.
- With Knight out, the Cardinals turned to Emari Demercado and Michael Carter at running back, with Corey Kiner noted as a possible option.
