Josh Sweat is officially questionable for Sunday’s Week 4 showdown against the New York Giants, and honestly, if you’re a Cardinals fan, you have to be sweating this one. This dude was supposed to be their top pass rusher for 2026, and now a groin injury is throwing a massive wrench into their already shaky defensive plans.
Another ‘No Show’ From Sweat?
Let’s be real, Sweat has been pretty much a “no show” this entire season so far. The guy was held out for normal rest on Wednesday, came back full on Thursday, and then couldn’t go fully on Friday. That’s a classic sign this isn’t just a minor tweak. Maybe this groin issue has been lingering all year, explaining his quiet start. And yeah, maybe missing a game now means he’ll be better later, but when your pass rush is already straight up bad, you need your best guys out there. You just do.
The Giants’ O-Line Isn’t Playing Around
If Sweat can’t go, the Cardinals are going to have to lean on Baron Browning, and you’ll probably see more of Jordan Burch. No disrespect to those guys, but the Giants’ offensive line isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor are holding down those tackle spots, and they’re tough matchups for any pass rusher. Without Sweat, who was supposed to be the difference-maker, Arizona’s defense is going to have their hands full trying to get any pressure on Sunday. This game is going to be a brutal test.
