Cleared to play Week 3 Lopez (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Lopez earned the questionable tag for Week 3 after logging a limited practice Friday, and he's demonstrated enough in pregame warmups to be given the green light by medical staff to play in Sunday's NFC West clash. Lopez has eight tackles (three solo) through the first two games of the regular season.

Questionable against San Francisco Lopez (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Lopez has been dealing with the groin issue for a few weeks. He didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, and while he was limited during Friday's session, he is still considered questionable to play in Week 3. If Lopez isn't available against the 49ers, Andrew Billings may take on as much work as he can handle.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play against Seattle Lopez (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact Lopez posted an LP/DNP/LP practice log during Week 2 prep to draw the questionable tag, but the sixth-year pro has been cleared by medical staff to play in Sunday's NFC West tilt. He recorded four tackles (two solo) during the Chargers' Week 1 victory over the Chargers.

Draws questionable tag vs. Seattle Lopez (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Lopez logged an LP/DNP/LP practice log while working through a groin injury that he may have picked up in Week 1 against the Chargers, when he logged four tackles (two solo). Andrew Billings (knee) is listed as questionable, so L.J. Collier and Walter Nolen would both see a sizable workload increase if one or both of Lopez and Billings were to be ruled out for Sunday's NFC West tilt.

MARCH 12 • AZCARDINALS.COM

Heading to Arizona Lopez signed a two-year, $11.5 million contract with the Cardinals on Monday that includes $7 million guaranteed, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Lopez served in a rotational role on the defensive line for the Lions in 2025, but the 2021 sixth-rounder could serve in a larger role with the Cardinals if Calais Campbell -- who is an unrestricted free agent -- does not return. Lopez recorded 30 tackles (11 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defense across 17 regular-season games for Detroit in 2025. It'll be his second stint in Arizona, having played with the Cardinals from 2023 to 2024.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Plays rotational role in 2025 Lopez recorded 30 tackles (11 solo), 2.0 sacks and one pass defensed across 17 games with the Lions in 2025.

Impact Lopez signed a one-year deal with Detroit before the 2025 season, and he retained a comparable role relative to the rest of his career. He logged over 400 defensive snaps for the second straight campaign while reaching at least 30 tackles for the fourth time in his five-year career. Lopez is set to become a free agent again this offseason, and he should land another short-term deal.
