News

  • Officially on IR

    The Cardinals placed Blount (neck/concussion) on injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters earlier Wednesday that Blount would miss the remainder the season due to a neck injury, so his move to IR comes as no surprise. Kitan Crawford will likely see increased snaps as a rotational safety and special-teamer while Blount remains sidelined.

  • Done for the season

    Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Wednesday that Blount (neck/concussion) will be placed on injured reserve and miss the remainder of the season, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Blount was originally ruled out for the remainder of Arizona's Week 1 win due to a concussion, but it now appears he also sustained a neck injury serious enough to end his 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old from Virginia has appeared in 27 games for the Cardinals over the past three seasons, recording 12 total tackles as a key special-teamer. With Blount out for the year, Kitan Crawford could see additional reps as a rotational safety as the season progresses.

  • Enters concussion protocol

    Blount (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Saints, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Blount appeared to take a hit to the head late in the second quarter on a kickoff return. He will not return Sunday, and he'll have to pass the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play Week 2 against the Panthers on Sunday, Sept. 14.

  • Four tackles versus KC

    Blount (illness) recorded four total tackles (two solo) in Saturday's 20-17 preseason win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Blount was battling an illness ahead of the team's preseason opener, but he was ultimately active for the contest. The safety is expected to operate as a top reserve option behind Budda Baker, while also continuing to operate as a contributor on special teams in 2025.

  • Dealing with illness

    Blount was absent from practice Saturday due to illness, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Blount presumably won't be sidelined long with the issue, though there hasn't been any official word from the team. He's been a special teams contributor with the Cardinals for the last two seasons, and he's likely to retain a similar role in 2025.

  • Gets new contract with Cardinals

    Arizona signed Blount to a two-year contract Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Blount appeared in 15 games for Arizona in 2024, playing nearly all of his 287 total snaps on special teams. Now he's set to run it back and projects to be a significant contributor on special teams again in 2025.

  • Placed on IR due to rib injury

    The Cardinals placed Blount (ribs) on injured reserve Monday.

    Analysis: Blount suffered a rib injury during the Cardinals' overtime loss to the Panthers in Week 16, which forced him to be sidelined during Saturday's 13-9 loss to the Rams. His placement on IR will end his 2024 campaign but will also open up a spot on the Cardinals' 53-man roster for the regular-season finale against the 49ers on Sunday. Blount mostly served on special teams in 2024 and will finish his third NFL regular season with five tackles (three solo) across 15 games.

  • Won't play against Rams

    Head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Blount (ribs) won't play in Saturday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Blount was carted off the field after injuring his ribs during the Cardinals' 36-30 overtime loss to the Panthers this past Sunday. He's mostly served on special teams this season, so his absence won't impact the Cardinals' secondary rotation that much for Saturday's contest. Blount's next opportunity to play will come during Arizona's regular-season finale against San Francisco next weekend.

  • Won't return against Carolina

    Blount (ribs) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Blount was carted off the field after suffering a rib injury on a kickoff and will not return to Sunday's game. He's primarily served on special teams this season so his absence won't affect the Cardinals' secondary all that much.

  • Good to go for Week 7

    Blount (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Blount suffered a hamstring injury in Week 6 against the Packers, but it doesn't appear to be serious since he has been a full practice participant this week. He has primarily played on special teams this year and has accumulated three tackles (one solo) through six regular-season games.

  • Leaves game early

    Blount (hamstring) has exited Sunday's game against the Packers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Blount's exit shouldn't impact Arizona's secondary too much unless they suffer any more injuries there. The Virginia product typically only sees work on special teams, with just eight defensive snaps played this season coming into Week 6.

  • Returning Week 13

    Blount (knee) is active Sunday against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Blount has missed each of the team's last two games, but he'll return to the field against Pittsburgh. The Virginia product mainly contributes on special teams, but he'll bolster the team's depth at safety for the matchup, too.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Blount (knee) is listed as inactive for Sunday's matchup with Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

    Analysis: Blount's absence will mark his second straight due to a knee injury. As a result, Andre Chachere and Qwuantrezz Knight will be the available depth options at safety.

  • Won't suit up at Houston

    Blount (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Blount was unable to practice during the week, so it comes as no surprise that he won't play in Week 11. Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson will likely have a duopoly on Arizona's snaps at safety Sunday.

  • Joins Cards' practice squad

    Arizona signed Blount to its practice squad Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Blount (shoulder) reached an injury settlement with the Seahawks on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

  • Suffers shoulder injury

    Blount sustained a shoulder injury during Saturday's 19-15 preseason loss to the Packers, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Pete Carroll confirmed the injury following the game. Blount was tended to by trainers after being blocked at the end of a run by Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Blount has been dealing with a back issue since Aug. 7 and this additional injury is a setback for his attempt to make the 53-man roster.

    Analysis: Blount's injury is not serious according to head coach Pete Carroll, which is good news for the Virginia product.

    Analysis: Blount will be available for the Seahawks when they face the Buccaneers in Munich on Sunday. He's unlikely to contribute much, though, as the backup safety has yet to play a defensive snap all season.
