Jacoby Brissett is confirmed to start for the Arizona Cardinals against the San Francisco 49ers today, Sunday, September 27, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium. Kickoff is 1:05 p.m. Arizona time, but here’s the real talk: his hip, which suddenly popped up on their injury report, might still be screaming from the pure domination our Seahawks put on display in that 31-7 victory last Sunday. You gotta wonder if he’s truly ready.
That Hip Injury From Our Emerald City Stomp
Our Hawks clearly left their mark last week when they went full beast mode on the Cardinals, and it seriously looks like Brissett is carrying a physical souvenir from that absolute beatdown. The Cardinals’ quarterback was officially listed with a hip injury, one he “apparently suffered” during that crushing 31-7 loss to the boys in green and blue. The big question hanging over today’s game against their division rivals is whether that hip will actually slow him down. He didn’t miss a snap in the Seahawks loss and practiced fully all week, even ending up without a game status. But we all saw the relentless pressure our defense put on him! Did he just gut it out, or is he truly 100%? Taking real hits from Mike Macdonald’s D-line is different than practice. That 31-7 score tells you our guys brought the pain.
Injury Reports: Who’s Out, Who’s Questionable in Santa Clara
It’s not just Brissett’s hip making headlines in Santa Clara today, though that’s definitely our favorite part of the story. Both the Cardinals and the 49ers are dealing with some nagging injuries as they clash in Week 3. The Cardinals will be without Safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (back). Defensive Lineman Roy Lopez (groin) and Cornerback Max Melton (toe) are both questionable. Any missing pieces could hurt the Cards.
The 49ers have serious problems, especially on defense. They’ll be without critical talent: Defensive Ends Nick Bosa (calf) and Romello Height (hand) are both officially OUT. That’s a massive blow to their pass rush! Also sidelined for the Niners are Wide Receiver Demarcus Robinson (ankle) and Defensive Tackle James Thompson (ankle). Wide Receiver Mike Evans is listed as questionable with a hip injury. These injuries could totally open up some opportunities for a potentially hobbled Brissett. He still needs to be on point against a weakened, but dangerous, 49ers squad. The stakes are high for both.
So, as Brissett steps onto the field at Levi’s Stadium, all eyes from the Emerald City and beyond will be glued to that hip. He’s technically been cleared to play, but the true test of its impact will be seen when the game kicks off and the real hits start coming. Can he genuinely shake off the lingering effects of our Seahawks’ dominant performance from last week, or will that hip become a huge factor in how he performs against the 49ers today? We’ll all find out what that decisive 31-7 victory truly cost the Cardinals’ signal caller today. Go Hawks!
