Antoine Wesley - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Recovering from torn quadriceps Wesley sustained torn quadriceps during the week ahead of Arizona's loss versus Philadelphia on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Though initially thought to be an aggravation of a prior hip injury, it's actually ruptured quadriceps muscles that will keep Wesley out for the remainder of the 2022 campaign. The Cardinals will probably continue to rely on A.J. Green to perform the offensive functions with which Wesley might otherwise have been tasked.

Close to returning Wesley (hip) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday.

Impact Wesley has missed the minimum four games since being placed on IR on Sept. 2. He'll have three weeks to be moved to the active roster, but he can return as soon as Sunday against the Eagles. Wesley was expected to play a significant role early in the season with DeAndre Hopkins serving a suspension, however after suffering an injury of his own that opportunity was put on hold. With Hopkins' return still a couple weeks away, and A.J. Green (knee) uncertain for Week 5, Wesley could see a prominent role Sunday against the Eagles.

Out at least one or two more weeks Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Wesley (hip) could miss one or two more weeks, Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Wesley has been dealing with the issue since the start of August and surgery has popped up as an option, but it appears the Cardinals are going to try and wait it out. While it sounds like the wideout may miss the remaining preseason games, he's likely still a lock for the initial 53-man roster with DeAndre Hopkins slated to miss the first six games of the season due to suspension.

Can Kyler Murray rise above controversy to take Cardinals to new heights?

Surgery possible Wesley may need surgery on his injured groin/hip, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Wesley picked up the issue at Thursday's practice and subsequently underwent an MRI. Coach Kliff Kingsbury noted the team will have a better idea whether or not Wesley requires a procedure to address the injury in the next week, or if rehabbing it will be able to get the wide receiver back to 100 percent. With DeAndre Hopkins slated to miss the first six games of the season due to suspension, Wesley is in line to handle a decent number of reps as an outside receiver during that span, assuming he's healthy.

Re-signs with Cardinals Wesley has signed his exclusive rights contract tender to remain with the Cardinals this season, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Impact The third-year receiver finished fourth in receiving yards (208) amongst Arizona's wideouts in 2021 and should continue to maintain a significant depth role for team, following the free-agent departure of Christian Kirk and with A.J. Green currently unsigned. At present, the Cardinals' top two wide receiver options are DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore.

Gets contract tender from Cards The Cardinals have extended a one-year contract tender to Wesley.

Impact Once Wesley inks the deal, he'll be in line to reprise his depth role in what could well be a re-tooled wideout corps in 2022. The 24-year-old finished up last season with a 19/208/3 stat line in 15 games while working behind DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk, A.J. Green and Rondale Moore.

MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies three touchdowns in 2021 Wesley hauled in 19 of 32 targets for 208 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games during the 2021 season.

Impact The Ravens signed Wesley as an undrafted free agent in May 2019, but he didn't log his first NFL action until Week 3 of this past campaign as a member of the Cardinals. His first catch as a pro came in Week 8, and the 6-foot-4 wide receiver eventually became a regular in Arizona's offense when DeAndre Hopkins missed the majority of the second half of the season due to hamstring and knee injuries. In particular, Wesley was targeted six times in the red zone from Weeks 15-17, when he tallied his trio of scores. An exclusive rights free agent this offseason, he's limited to signing the contract tendered to him by the Cardinals.

Sees four targets Sunday Wesley gathered in two of four targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact The bulk of Wesley's production this season has occurred with DeAndre Hopkins on the sideline. Between Weeks 9 and 11 and since Hopkins (knee) was placed on IR after Week 14, Wesley played between 59 and 85 percent of offensive snaps in each of the Cardinals' seven games without Hopkins during that span en route to a 18-201-3 line on 29 targets. Hopkins isn't expected to be ready to return until the NFC Championship Game at the earliest, so Wesley should continue to get regular looks from Kyler Murray in Monday's wild-card game against the Rams.
