The Arizona Cardinals are beginning to benefit from their recent trade for linebacker Barron Browning, which has strengthened their defense, though further reinforcements may be needed.
The Cardinals have struggled with injuries on the defensive line and started the season with a performance below expectations. Now entering their bye week on a four-game winning streak, their defense has improved, but some analysts suggest they still lack depth.
Bleacher Report recommends the Cardinals consider signing defensive end Tarron Jackson from the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad. Jackson, a 2021 sixth-round pick, appeared in all 17 games as a rookie, contributing 18 tackles, one sack, and nine QB pressures. His familiarity with Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon’s schemes could ease his transition.
With first-round pick Darius Robinson’s return still uncertain, adding more defensive line depth might strengthen the Cardinals’ position in the NFC West. Gannon commented on Robinson’s timeline, emphasizing a day-by-day approach to his recovery.
After their bye, the Cardinals will face the Seattle Seahawks on the road in Week 12.
