The Cardinals placed McDonald (neck) on injured reserve, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDonald played nine games for the Cardinals this season and posted eight tackles. His absence won't shake up the defensive dynamic, but it may afford rookie Michael Dogbe a few more snaps.

McDonald (shoulder) is questionable to return to the team's Week 9 contest against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
McDonald was assessed by the team's medical staff after a play early in the third quarter but was ultimately able to walk off the field. With Zach Allen (neck) also sidelined, the Cardinals defensive line will be thin if McDonald is unable to return.

EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old spent last season with the Raiders, recording 31 tackles (19 solo) and two sacks across 15 games. Although the Cardinals may have not been the right fit, the defensive tackle has made it known that he wants to continue his career somewhere in the league.

McDonald accounted for three tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
McDonald logged the Raiders' only sack in just his second game with the team, as Oakland struggled to reach Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill. McDonald was on the field for 77 percent of the team's defensive snaps as head coach Jon Gruden continues to search for any signs of a pass rush.

McDonald signed a contract with Oakland on Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDonald provides Oakland with depth at the defensive end position. The 31-year-old spent the preseason with the Raiders, and should not take much time to adjust into the team's 4-3 defense.

McDonald (shoulder) made two tackles (one solo) during Friday's 29-17 preseason win over the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
McDonald has struggled with this shoulder injury, as he underwent surgery and failed a physical in June. He appears back in full form now. The 31-year-old will look to make noise in Thursday's preseason finale against the Cardinals and secure a depth roster spot.

McDonald (shoulder) will undergo further tests and treatment to determine whether his shoulder injury is related to an infection that kept him sidelined during the offseason, Mike Klis of 9news.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDonald was forced to miss much of the offseason's team activities following the infection but had since returned to participate in Denver's first nine practices. With the shoulder injury emerging again this time from an uncertain cause, the Broncos' medical staff fears it could be related to the infection. Fortunately for McDonald, doctors and scans should help diagnosis the root of the pain rather shortly. In the meantime, Antonio Simmons could be in line for increased reps with the backups.

McDonald is dealing with a shoulder issue and visited a doctor Tuesday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Broncos were hoping McDonald's veteran presence would provide depth to their defensive line. It's been a bumpy road since signing with Denver in March, however, as he underwent shoulder surgery and failed a physical in June. He was cleared for practice in late July but it appears the injury has resurfaced. A timetable for his return should become more clear in the next few days.
