Dwight Freeney to join the Cardinals

The Cardinals defeated the Chargers 18-17. He has a team-best two sacks this season.

At his regular Monday session with reporters, Arians wouldn’t comment on the Freeney reports. “We’re just waiting on seeing what we’re going to do”.

The worst news coming out of the Detroit game concerned injuries.

While MRI results are still pending for Alex Okafor and Chris Clemons, their injuries appear to be less severe than an ACL.

OLB Dwight Freeney and the Cardinals reached an agreement on a one-year contract.

According to ESPN, Freeney passed a physical with the team on Monday.

“He’s been getting after the passer since he’s been healthy”, Arians said. They only had one sack but they got enough pressure on Stafford to make him move around. Listed as a safety, Bucannon really plays inside linebacker in all situations.

SS Deone Bucannon recorded 11 tackles.

-PASS DEFENSE: A. The Cardinals intercepted four passes, including three off starting quarterback Matthew Stafford. Johnson, who signed for $870,000 with additional incentives, has rewarded the Cardinals by rushing for 405 yards, tying him for second in league in the category.

It will be Freeney’s 14th season in the NFL. Fitzgerald had five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown, but it was his blocking that impressed coaches the most. But his bigger influence may have been as a blocker. Andre Ellington broke a 63-yard touchdown run in the second half. He is averaging 5.1 yards a carry this year.
