Revenge of the Birds
Happy Friday one and all.
The Arizona Cardinals take on the Carolina Panthers in week two of the 2025 regular season, and as they prepare, they may be without a big piece to what they like to do in the run game.
Tip Reiman is dealing with a foot injury, and that could change how often the team can go into their 12 and especially their 13 personnel.
Reiman is not the only one of concern on the injury report heading into Friday.
It seems like there is no chance that Cody Simon will play, but we need to keep an eye on Blake Gillikin, who is dealing with a back injury.
I am not a punting expert, but it seems less than ideal for your punter to be dealing with a back issue.
We will likely still await the return of Will Hernandez, but he is getting closer.
The one to watch for the Carolina Panthers is Ikem Ekwonu, who is dealing recovering with a recent appendectomy and his replacement has not been good.
It seems like Ekwonu will still not be ready, but it is something to monitor.
