May miss regular-season finale
Published: 2024-01-05
Gardeck (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Gardeck didn't practice Wednesday, but he's followed that with a pair of limited sessions Thursday and Friday, giving him a chance to suit up Sunday versus the Seahawks. The veteran linebacker hasn't missed a game so far this season, and he's tallied a career-high 6.0 sacks among his 44 tackles (34 solo). If Gardeck isn't able to suit up Sunday, Victor Dimukeje (foot) and/or Ezekiel Turner could see more work in his stead.
Back at practice
Published: 2024-01-04
Gardeck (knee) was a limited participant at the Cardinals' practice Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Gardeck missed the team's first session of the week Wednesday, so Thursday's participation is a step in the right direction. The linebacker will have one more chance to progress to a full workload Friday before Arizona's final injury report comes out ahead of Sunday's regular season finale with the Seahawks.
Dealing with knee injury
Published: 2024-01-03
Gardeck (knee) did not participate at the Cardinals' practice Wednesday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Gardeck appears to have left the team's 35-31 win over the Eagles in Week 17 a little worse for wear, popping up on the injury report with a knee issue. The linebacker will have two more sessions to return to the practice field this week and if he can't go Sunday versus the Seahawks, Victor Dimukeje (foot) or Ezekiel Turner could be asked to step into a starting role in his place.
Logs another sack in win
Published: 2023-11-14
Gardeck recorded five total tackles (three solo), including one sack and one tackle for loss, while also recording a pass deflection in Sunday's 25-23 win over the Falcons.
The 29-year-old linebacker is having one of the best seasons of his career, as his five sacks are just two short of his career best in a season. Gardeck ranks second on the Cardinals in tackles for loss and first in sacks through the first ten games of the year. Expect Gardeck to continue leading Arizona's defense and causing problems for opposing quarterbacks as the season goes on.
