NFC West Notes: Cardinals, Rams, Seahawks

Cardinals

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald tells Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic that Sunday’s game will be no different for him than any other, despite the fact he could retire after the season.

No different than any other game,” Fitzgerald said. “Honed in and ready to play as I have the hundreds of other times I have done it.

Fitzgerald left the door open to possibly returning in 2019, but says he only play for the Cardinals.

It may. It may not,” Fitzgerald said. “NFL careers end every Sunday. I’m just blessed to be able to play the game I love.

I have never had any desire to play anywhere else. I started here.”

Rams

  • As for newly signed RB C.J. Anderson, McVay said he could play a role as soon as Sunday against the Cardinals: “Very sharp, cerebral player.
