Gardeck (knee) will likely be a game-time decision on Saturday according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Arizona Republic Guild reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gardeck was carted off the field Sunday against the Eagles but is working through the injury according to Kingsbury. The 26-year-old linebacker has had five sacks over the past three games in only 35 defensive reps. Should he be ruled out, look for Markus Golden to potentially see an uptick in snaps Saturday.

Gardeck was carted to the locker room with an undisclosed injury during Sunday's 33-26 win against the Eagles, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With a Week 15 sack of Jalen Hurts, Gardeck established a Cardinals franchise record by becoming the first undrafted player to reach six sacks in a season, surpassing Olsen Pierre's 2017 mark of 5.5. He's been incredibly productive on a limited workload, especially of late, with three sacks on 11 defensive snaps over his preceding two appearances entering Sunday. For as long as the Sioux Falls standout remains unavailable, depth at outside linebacker will be depleted behind Haason Reddick and Devon Kennard.

Gardeck (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Gardeck will play through his lingering foot injury for a second straight contest. He'll handle his usual reserve role in Arizona's linebacker corps versus Seattle.

Gardeck (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gardeck played through the foot injury in this past Monday's win over the Cowboys but logged just 16 defensive snaps while Haason Reddick took the lead role at outside linebacker. Gardeck was limited all week in practice and has a good chance to play this Sunday, but he'll likely operate in a reserve role again if he's able to suit up.

Gardeck (foot) is active for Monday's game versus the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Gardeck is slated to enjoy a major increase in usage Monday because Chandler Jones (biceps) is on IR and Kylie Fitts (hamstring) is inactive. The 26-year-old didn't play a defensive snap this season until Jones got hurt in Week 5, and he ended up logging 10 snaps and two sacks in the process. It was quite a disruptive performance, so even if Haason Reddick starts, Gardeck should see plenty of work.

Gardeck (foot) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Cowboys, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After starting the practice week on the sidelines, Gardeck logged two straight limited sessions to give him a chance to play Monday. The 26-year-old has played nearly all of his snaps on special teams this season, although he recorded two sacks over 10 defensive snaps last week against the Jets. With Chandler Jones (biceps) done for the year and Kylie Fitts (hamstring) ruled out for Monday, Gardeck could start at outside linebacker and look to add to his sack total.

Gardeck had two solo tackles and two sacks during Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Gardeck spent the first four weeks of the season playing his usual role as a special-teams captain for the Cardinals, but he filled in admirably for Chandler Jones (biceps) and provided Arizona's defense with much-needed pressure versus the Jets. With Jones expected to miss the remainder of the season due to his biceps injury, the Cardinals may call upon Gardeck to handle a notable role on defense.

Gardeck (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 8 matchup with the Saints, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gardeck was limited in practice this week and questionable entering Sunday. He's been a significant special teams contributor this season but has yet to see a single defensive snap. He'll figure to see a similar role in Week 8, barring injury to others at his position.

The Cardinals have listed Gardeck (ankle) as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Saints, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gardeck was limited at practice all week and is looking like a true game-time decision. Joe Walker and potentially Zeke Turner (hamstring) could be in line for slightly bigger roles if Gardeck is ultimately ruled out.
