Cardinals place quarterback Gardner Minshew and receiver Michael Wilson on injured reserve.
Minshew tore the UCL in his elbow and will miss the rest of the season, and Wilson's neck injury ends his season. Wilson caught 51 passes for 546 yards and two touchdowns in eight games, while Minshew completed 38 of 53 passes for 354 yards and three touchdowns in two starts. Minshew is scheduled to be a free agent at the end of the season. Revenge of the Birds, a fan blog, suggests Carson Beck could now be the starting quarterback.

No. 3 in the 30-second version
Seahawks made no trades at the deadline despite reports they explored the trade market.
Field Gulls said Seattle's interest in Colts running back Jonathan Taylor reportedly started and ended with an initial inquiry, according to NFL journalist Corbin K. Smith. The site noted Seattle has 10 picks in the 2027 draft, including projected compensatory selections, so assets were not the issue. Jordan Schultz had reported the Seahawks were looking for a wide receiver, but no deal came together.

Eagles trade defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jaguars for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick.
NBC Sports Philadelphia says Davis signed a $78 million, three-year extension eight months ago and had a disappointing season, with half a sack through eight weeks. The move clears the way for the Eagles to keep Moro Ojomo, and Philadelphia is now 2-7 after a seven-game losing streak. Bleeding Green Nation, citing ESPN, reports Jacksonville also acquired safety Jessie Bates III in a separate deal.
