The Arizona Cardinals (0-2) just need to win games.

There’s no single formula or fix for head coach Steve Wilks and staff after the offense and defense have each put together disappointing performances in losses to Washington and Los Angeles to start this season.

Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy has fared a bit better than his fellow first-year head coach.

The Bears (1-1) lost a heartbreaker to the Green Bay Packers in Week 1 and pulled off a win over the Seattle Seahawks on Monday. They visit State Farm Stadium on Sunday with optimism about Nagy’s offensive changes and a defense that should lead the charge after acquiring pass rusher Khalil Mack just before the season began.

With Week 3 of action on deck, here’s a look at the injury report for the Cardinals and Bears.
