Give and take.

While the Arizona Cardinals have gained a number of players back this week, they’ve also been hit by the injury and COVID-19 bugs.

Linebacker Devon Kennard was placed on the COVID-19 list Wednesday.

He joins linebacker Markus Golden and offensive lineman Sean Harlow, who were both placed on the list on Monday.

It marks the first time all three players have been placed under COVID-19 protocols this season.

Golden has been a key factor defensively for Arizona.

Through 15 games played, the linebacker has recorded a team-high 11 sacks and 10 tackles for loss to go along with 19 QB hits and four forced fumbles.

Harlow has appeared in 13 contests this season, five of which were starts from Week 8-14 (didn’t start Week 9).

Kennard has recorded 20 tackles, seven of which were for losses, two passes defensed and two QB hits over the course of 14 games.

The Cardinals take on the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, with kickoff currently scheduled for 2:25 p.m.

Tune to 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station for all the action.
