The Arizona Cardinals are the NFL’s lone remaining unbeaten staff. And kudos to that squad for beginning off robust after stumbling to the end, fumbling the bag, and permitting the Bears to sneak into the playoffs.

A optimistic COVID-19 take a look at for Arizona Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury will preserve him from teaching on Sunday. Becoming a member of Kingsbury in lacking the sport are QBs Coach Cam Turner and defensive sort out Zach Allen. Each Turner and Allen even have come again with optimistic COVID take a look at outcomes. Earlier this week, the Cardinals put stud pass-rusher Chandler Jones on the Reserve/COVID-19 record. Jones, whose 5 sacks lead the staff, can be anticipated to sit down out on Sunday.

The 5-0 Cardinals journey to Cleveland to tackle a 3-2 Browns staff that’s 2-0 at residence. In different phrases, an already difficult recreation will likely be that a lot harder with out the pinnacle coach pacing the sidelines and star QB sacker wrecking opposing backfields. However for what it’s price, dropping your coach to a optimistic COVID take a look at isn’t an automated loss. Keep in mind, the Browns beat the Steelers in a playoff recreation final 12 months whereas Kevin Stefanski sat out attributable to a optimistic COVID take a look at. However extra vital than any recreation, I hope corridor coaches and gamers get a clear invoice of well being sooner, reasonably than later.
