Cardinals coach says star TE is in concussion protocol

After a collision with Detroit Lions defensive back Brian Branch in the fourth quarter Sunday’s 20-13 Week 3 loss, McBride and Branch were both evaluated for concussions and did not return.
McBride ended the game with three catches for 25 yards. For the year, he is first on the team with 14 receptions and second with 122 receiving yards.
If McBride is unable to go for Sunday’s Week 4 contest against the Washington Commanders, Elijah Higgins and third-round rookie Tip Reiman could see more playing time.
Arizona will release its first injury report of the week on Wednesday. Defensive lineman Justin Jones (triceps), offensive tackle Jackson Barton (toe) and defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga (knee) were also injured against the Lions.
Dennis Gardeck acknowledged he was sore as he sat down in front of the media on Monday, a day after the Cardinals dropped a difficult 20-13 game to the Lions.
“It was exactly what we knew,” the linebacker said. “It was going to be a physical fight. I’m proud of the way we fought.”
Players in the locker room postgame were certainly feeling the pain, not only of the loss but the battle on the field. That hadn’t gone away on Monday afternoon. Not yet.
“Right now, we’re a pissed-off team,” coach Jonathan Gannon said. “Now it comes down to what do you do about it, and to make sure that we keep learning and improving.”
Whether it was Kyler Murray at the podium or from Dante Stills and Mack Wilson Sr. in the locker room postgame, there’s a level of confidence within the organization that isn’t always found after such a loss. Even while playing with their fourth right tackle this season, the Cardinals weren’t far behind a Super Bowl contender.
Gannon will be the first to admit that the running game needs to get rolling in order for the offense to play a game like Week 2. He’ll also recognize that the defense’s performance in the first half could improve. But Gannon has confidence the players to make it happen are already in the locker room.
“It’s just couple plays here and there of consistency,” Gannon said. “That’s why I’m enthused because I know we can do it. We’re not asking the guys to do something that they can’t physically or mentally do. Our guys have shown that they can. It’s about coaching them up and then playing good ball and being consistent.”
