The Cardinals will be getting back offensive line depth, while losing some on defense and special teams.
On Monday, Arizona activated backup center Lamont Gaillard after he missed time due to the birth of his daughter before subsequently going through COVID-19 protocols. The Cardinals also placed outside linebacker Kylie Fitts on reserve/injured with a hand injury, ending his regular season heading into Week 17.
Gaillard received a roster exemption last Monday, but didn’t pass through the league s coronavirus protocols before Saturday’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He has started in two games this year when starter Mason Cole got hurt in Week 1. Gaillard has not started since Week 3, but played 29 total offensive snaps in Weeks 13 and 14, replacing Cole for some possessions.

It turns out Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph wasn’t “talking out of school” Wednesday when he said the team would “miss” linebacker Dennis Gardeck this week.
Not only will it be this week, but on Thursday head coach Kliff Kingsbury revealed that Gardeck will be placed on reserve/injured as the result of a knee injury he suffered Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“He s such a tough guy,” Kingsbury said. “We were exploring every option to try and get him out there and it doesn t appear like it s going to work out so he ll be put on IR for the remainder of the season.”

The Cardinals will have running back Chase Edmonds Sunday against the Eagles.
How much, given that Edmonds could be limited with an ankle injury, remains to be seen. But Edmonds is a key part of the offense all season and his availability can only help.
The Cardinals will not have starting left guard Justin Pugh, however, after Pugh missed practice all week with a calf injury. Justin Murray, who was just listed as the starting right guard, is expected remain there in the lineup with J.R. Sweezy returning to his role as starter on the left side in Pugh s sted.

The Arizona Cardinals will be without kicker Zane Gonzalez (back) and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (hamstring) for the remainder of the regular season.
In a series of moves made Saturday, the Cardinals placed Gonzalez and Phillips on the reserve/injured list. This ends the regular season for both players because players placed on the list have to miss a minimum of three games.
As for Phillips, because this is his second stint on the list, he can t return even if the Cardinals qualify for the playoffs. Phillips was previously on reserve/injured for four games, then came back last Sunday against the New York Giants. On the fifth play from scrimmage, he went down with the same hamstring injury that has now ended his season.
