Cardinals added three defensive men with new contracts

Restricted free agent tight end Ben Patrick is to wear back his No. 89 Arizona Cardinals jersey for the 2010 season as the team has signed a one-year contract with him. Similar thing happened to safety Hamza Abdullah and fullback Nehemiah Broughton.

A seventh-round draft pick out of Delaware in 2007, Patrick has 30 career receptions for 323 yards and four touchdowns. He also has five postseason receptions, including a touchdown catch in the 2009 Super Bowl. All of Patrick’s first three career seasons were spent with the Cardinals, while six-year veteran Abdullah joined the Cardinals last December and played in only one regular-season game but took part in both postseason games.

As for Broughton, he spent last season with the Minnesota Vikings on practice squad without playing any game. He was previously signed by the Cardinals on Jan. 5 and on Tuesday the Cardinals signed his exclusive rights contract to get him back from the free agent market.

Cardinals WR Fitzgerald went through limited practice Wednesday

Since putting on the No.11 Cardinals jersey in 2004, Larry Fitzgerald has missed just four games in his six NFL seasons, and he doesn’t expect to make it five this weekend. Practicing on limited basis Wednesday, the wide receiver was hopefully to play this Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.

The All-Pro receiver for the Cardinals expressed confidence he will be in the lineup Sunday at Detroit, just six days after he bruised a bone and sprained his right knee during Monday night’s 23-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers when 49ers safety Dashon Goldson landed on his leg in the third quarter.

Fitzgerald was helped off the field and went to the locker room, where he said he “got a good tape job and a t-shot,” referring to a painkilling injection. But he still returned to the field with 3 1/2 minutes left. An MRI on Tuesday proved that the injury was not as serious as many were afraid to be.

Those Impressed us most in Week 13

The number 13 should be a unlucky number for the Minnesota Vikings, Brett Favre did managed to help the team to keep their second winning streak of the season. And the team who beat them did not beyong many people's expectation. The Arizona Cardinals rank ninth now and I guess they themselve did not expect to win over the Rank-3 Vikings.

The Pittsburgh Steelers gave their fans a really happy surprise when they was the first team to beat the Vikings. But from then on the team was again in slide. On Sunday night, the Super Bowl Champion was beaten by one of the league's worst team: the Oakland Raiders.

And unbeaten teams keep setting records. The Colts and the Saints seem determined to meet each other in the last game and they set a record together by making this season the first to have two teams remain unbeaten this late in a season.

It has been long we have not heard much of a player in Chargers jersey and running back LaDainian Tomlinson broke the silence about the Chargers by moving to eighth on career rushing list only one week after he moved to the 10th, and becoming the fastest player to achieve 150 career touchdowns.

WR Boldin will probably miss Cardinals third preseason game

The Arizona Cardinals will probably play their third preseason game without wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who skipped Wednesday’s practice with a sore right hamstring.

According to Coach Ken Whisenhunt, Boldin began to feel uncomfortable with the hamstring during practice on Tuesday and an MRI showed that there was no serious injury. But Boldin will still likely miss the Friday night’s preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.

If he was confirmed not to be able to play the game, with wide receiver Steve Breaston also sidelined with a bruise knee, wide receiver Jerheme Urban will have the chance to become backup for Larry Fitzgerald.
