Cardinals' Jordan Burch: Out for remainder of Week 10
Rotowire
Burch (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's tilt against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Burch was injured while helping on kickoff coverage in the first quarter. He had a noticeable limp as he left the field and won't be able to return to the contest. Burch had played at least one-third of Arizona's defensive snaps in all but one game coming into Sunday, so his absence will impact Arizona beyond his special-teams contributions.

Cardinals' Jordan Burch: Injures knee, questionable to return Sunday
Rotowire
Burch (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 10 game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Burch was hurt during a kickoff in the first quarter and had to limp to the locker room. The second-year pro has been working in a rotational role along Arizona's defensive line in addition to his duties on special teams. Darius Robinson's defensive snap share could bump up if Robinson is unable to return.
The Cardinals selected Burch in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 78th overall.
Arizona is stockpiling defensive talent in this draft, as all three of its picks have come on that side of the ball thus far. Burch was a five-star recruit out of high school who started at South Carolina before transferring to Oregon for his final two years. He seemed to finally put things together in his fifth collegiate season with 8.5 sacks, which surpassed his previous career total. Burch has the upside that's worth rolling the dice on in the third round, though it's worth wondering why it took so long for his talent to turn into production at the college level.
