Arizona held the third waiver priority on Monday, was awarded nothing, and lost the one player it wanted back — linebacker Owen Pappoe, claimed by Tennessee. Carson Beck was cleared to return to full practice this week after nearly a month out with the rib injury, and the lineman who caused it, Jared Harrison-Hunte, joined Arizona's practice squad Tuesday. Love's ankle and Isaiah Adams's knee are game-weekend calls.

The Cardinals reached their 53 by keeping three running backs — Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight — a decision the beat reads as confidence Love's high ankle sprain heals in time for Week 1, even though the rookie has yet to return to practice. Sean Murphy-Bunting, the camp starting nickel, was released with Garrett Williams back from an Achilles tear, and Arizona traded for blocking tight end Hunter Long with Tip Reiman out at least four games. Carson Beck made the roster without a snap since August 1.

The ankle Jeremiyah Love tweaked in his 14-touch debut came back as a high ankle sprain, and the third overall pick went the whole week without a practice rep. In his absence the Cardinals lost 34 to 13 to the Cowboys in a game defined by penalties — two touchdowns wiped out on one drive — while Gardner Minshew quietly went 19 of 23 and Carson Beck's ribs kept the rookie quarterback shelved for a third straight week.

The pecking order finally moved: Love took the first snaps with the starters, then handled a start-caliber workload in a 27-14 win over the Raiders before an ankle scare the team is calling minor. Brissett went 5-for-5, Beck sat with sore ribs, and the guard battle ended the worst way — Chase Bisontis tore his MCL.
