Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Undergoes surgery on left knee
Nolen successfully underwent surgery on his left knee Tuesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Nolen suffered a season-ending knee injury during the Cardinals' Week 16 loss to the Falcons. The extent and severity of his injury is not clear, but he could be facing a recovery timeline that would put him jeopardy of missing the start of the 2026 campaign. The rookie first-rounder logged 11 tackles (eight solo), including 2.0 sacks, two pass defenses and a fumble recovery for a touchdown across six regular-season games.

Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Sent to injured reserve
The Cardinals placed Nolen (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Nolen suffered a noncontact left knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Falcons and had to be carted off the field. The exact nature of his injury isn't yet clear, but Nolen will miss the final two games of the season. This comes after Nolen missed the first seven games of his rookie campaign dealing with a significant calf injury.

Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Good to go against Houston
Nolen (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Tagged as questionable Week 15
Nolen (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
The rookie first-rounder was limited in practice during Week 15 prep, giving him a shot at returning Sunday from a two-game absence due to a knee injury. Nolen has played in just four of 14 regular-season games due to knee and calf injuries, and when he's played he has accumulated eight tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense and one fumble recovery.

Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Back at practice Wednesday
Nolen (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Nolen's ability to practice Wednesday is a step in the right direction for the rookie first-rounder, who has missed the Cardinals' last two games due to a knee injury. He would avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans with a full practice Thursday or Friday.

Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Out for Sunday
Nolen (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
The 2025 first-round pick from Ole Miss didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a knee injury. Nolen has played in just four games this season, recording eight total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 101 defensive snaps. Expect Dalvin Tomlinson to play an expanded role on the Cardinals' defensive line until Nolen returns.

Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Out for Week 13
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Nolen (knee) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Nolen exited this past Sunday's overtime loss to the Jaguars due to a knee injury, and the Cardinals quickly determined that the rookie defensive tackle would need to miss at least one game. The 2025 first-round pick from Ole Miss has been a force when on the field, recording eight total tackles, a sack, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown through just four appearances.

Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Ruled out with knee
Nolen (knee) has been ruled out and will not return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Nolen was a limited participant in practice this week with a knee injury, though it is unclear if that fact is related to the injury he sustained during Sunday's game. In the starting defensive tackle's absence, Dalvin Tomlinson or PJ Mustipher likely will play more rotational snaps on the defensive line.

Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Gets questionable tag for Sunday
Nolen (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Nolen was a limited participant at practice throughout the week, so he probably has close to coin-flip odds of playing in Week 11. If he can't, PJ Mustipher would figure to see additional work at defensive tackle Sunday.

Nolen (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Nolen sustained a knee injury during the Cardinals' Week 10 loss to the Seahawks.
