Cardinals Seek Defensive Boost Facing Cowboys Monday Night

The Arizona Cardinals face a critical moment as they prepare to play the Dallas Cowboys just before the NFL trade deadline, with their current 2-5 record placing them last in the NFC West. A win against the Cowboys could prompt the Cardinals to acquire players to strengthen their roster for a playoff push, while a loss might lead to trading players to manage salary cap issues. Key players like rookie DT Walter Nolen and DE Darius Robinson have recently returned to practice and play, potentially bolstering the team's defense. Additionally, cornerback Garrett Williams has been designated to return from injured reserve, which could significantly improve the Cardinals' secondary. These roster moves come as the team grapples with injuries and underperformance, making the upcoming game pivotal for their season's direction. The Cowboys, with a 3-4-1 record, also need a win to stay competitive in their division, setting the stage for a high-stakes Monday night game.
