Kirkpatrick (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick dealt with a foot injury during practice leading up to Sunday's game, but he'll be available against Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. The veteran cornerback stands to handle his usual key role in Arizona's secondary.

Kirkpatrick (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick popped up on the injury report Thursday when he missed practice, but he upgraded to a limited session Friday and could be a close call for Sunday's divisional clash. The veteran cornerback is enjoying a bounce-back campaign, as he's allowed an 80.3 passer rating and no touchdowns when targeted this season. Kevin Peterson is set to fill in if Kirkpatrick can't go.

Kirkpatrick didn't participate during Thursday's practice due to a foot injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick was absent from the injury report Wednesday, so his addition just a day later is certainly cause for concern. Expect his practice availability throughout the week to shed more light on his chances to play Sunday. If Kirkpatrick were to miss any game action, Kevin Peterson would be in line for slot cornerback work behind starters Byron Murphy and Patrick Peterson.

Kirkpatrick (head) is active for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Despite not practicing Friday, Kirkpatrick has recovered and likely won't be held back Sunday. Last week against the Lions, the veteran cornerback logged 64 percent of defensive snaps and recorded six tackles (four solo).

Kirkpatrick (head) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick went from full workload, limited participation to sidelined in consecutive practices this week, so he is certainly not trending in the right direction. Still, his status for Week 4 will be determined closer to kickoff.

Kirkpatrick (neck) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick was added to the injury report Friday with the neck issue, however, he's made a quick recovery to suit up. Now that he's officially healthy, he'll likely see a decent workload with just four healthy cornerbacks expected to suit up.

Kirkpatrick (neck) was a limited participant Friday and is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick was added to the injury report Friday, so he'll need to make a quick recovery to suit up Sunday. He's a fixture on the Cardinals' defense, and if he's unable to play, the team will have only three healthy cornerbacks, which would mean Kevin Peterson will handle an uptick in usage.

Kirkpatrick signed a contract with the Cardinals on Sunday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert Alford tore his pectoral muscle and was subsequently placed on injured reserve, so the Cardinals needed depth at cornerback. Kirkpatrick provides that, and he has a history with defensive coordinator Vance Joseph from their tenure in Cincinnati. Patrick Peterson and Byron Murphy are the top-two cornerbacks, but Kirkpatrick can cover the slot in nickel packages.

The Bengals are releasing Kirkpatrick (knee) on Tuesday, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The writing was on the wall when the Bengals signed both Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander away from the Vikings, getting younger and faster in the secondary. Kirkpatrick never became the shutdown corner the Bengals were hoping for when they drafted him No. 17 overall back in 2012, but he did start 13 or more games in four consecutive seasons from 2015 to 2018. The 30-year-old was limited to six appearances in 2019, eventually landing on injured reserve after he hurt his left knee Oct. 13. The injury was initially reported as a hyperextension, but Kirkpatrick's failure to return later in the season suggests it might have been something more serious.

The Bengals placed Kirkpatrick (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kirkpatrick missed Cincinnati's last three games due to a hyperextended left knee, the severity of which will now cause him to spend the rest of the season on IR. The Bengals will continue to roll with Darqueze Dennard, Williams Jackson and B.W. Webb as their top three cornerbacks.
