INJURIES
Not playing Thursday Hernandez (knee) is inactive for Thursday night's matchup with the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact The offensive guard has yet to make his season debut after tearing his ACL in Week 5 of the 2024 campaign. Hernandez has started all 35 games he's played in since signing with the Cardinals ahead of the 2022 season. For now, Isaiah Adams will continue to man the right-guard spot.

Not ready to make season debut Hernandez (knee) is inactive Sunday in Week 3 against San Francisco.
Impact Hernandez isn't yet ready to take the field as he continues to recover from the ACL tear he suffered in Week 5 last year. He did log a trio of limited practices this week, so there's a chance he could be active Thursday for a Week 4 matchup against Seattle.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Out again Week 2 Hernandez (knee) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Carolina.
Impact Hernandez remains in recovery mode from the knee injury that shortened his 2024 campaign. His next chance to make his return to the field will come next Sunday in San Francisco.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Out for Sunday Hernandez (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Hernandez is still working his way back from a knee injury that held him to just five games in 2024, making it no surprise he's been ruled out Sunday. The veteran offensive lineman did practice in a limited fashion throughout the week, which could be a positive sign for a potential return in the Cardinals' Week 2 contest against the Panthers.
SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Limited in practice Hernandez (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Hernandez is in the final stages of his recovery from a knee injury that ended his 2024 season in early October. He's been limited in the Cardinals' first two practices of the week, and a full practice Friday would be a good sign for his availability for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Saints in New Orleans. Hernandez started in all five regular-season games he played in last year, but the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart lists him as the backup right guard behind Isaiah Adams.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Passes physical Hernandez (knee) passed his physical and was activated from the active/PUP list Tuesday.
Impact Hernandez has started every game he has been healthy for over the past four seasons, but a knee injury ended his 2024 season after just five games. As long as he avoids a setback, he has a good chance to start in 2025.

Re-ups with Arizona for one year Hernandez (knee) signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact Hernandez is back in Arizona, where he started 35 regular-season games in 2022 through 2024 before tearing his ACL in Week 5 of the 2024 season. The team is encouraged with his rehab from the knee injury but a clear return timeline for Hernandez has yet to be established.
AUGUST 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Visits with Arizona Hernandez (knee) visited the Cardinals on Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Hernandez spent the previous three seasons in the desert with the Cardinals, starting all 35 regular-season games in which he appeared before tearing his ACL in Week 5 last season. It's unclear if Hernandez is 100 percent healthy, but he should be nearing a return to the field nearly 10 months after the injury.

Wants to stick with Arizona Hernandez (knee), who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, said Wednesday he "would love" to re-sign with the Cardinals, Jess Root of USA Today reports...
Impact Hernandez only suited up for five regular-season games in 2024 before landing on IR due to a season-ending knee injury. The 29-year-old said that currently, his only area of focus is "getting this knee back to back to 100 percent, which is exactly what's happening." Hernandez will hit free agency if he and the Cardinals aren't able to agree to terms on a new deal prior to the start of the new league year March 10.

Impact The move for Hernandez was expected with reports surfacing that he suffered a season-ending injury in the Cardinals' win over the 49ers on Sunday. His absence will open up an opportunity for Trystan Colon to start at right guard.

Slated to land on IR Hernandez is expected to be placed on injured reserve after sustaining a left knee injury in Sunday's 24-23 win over the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Reports earlier Monday indicated that Hernandez's left knee injury was likely season-ending, so his expected move to IR would come as no surprise. With Hernandez likely sidelined for the remainder of the Cardinals' 2024 campaign, expect Trystan Colon to serve as the team's top right guard.
