Oct. 24: Kingsbury has cleared COVID-19 protocols and will be on the sidelines for today’s game against Houston, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. The Cards are in search of a 7-0 start, and they are heavily favored to defeat the one-win Texans.
Oct. 16: The Cardinals are looking to improve to 6-0 tomorrow, but they won’t have their head coach on the sideline. Kliff Kingsbury has tested positive for COVID-19 and won’t coach tomorrow’s game against the Browns, per NFL.com.

According to the team, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and assistant head coach/special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers will share head coaching duties during tomorrow’s contest. Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo (via Twitter), Kingsbury will “script as much as he can” prior to the game, but the organization will be relying on a collaborative approach when the script inevitably goes awry. Garafolo notes that QBs Kyler Murray and Colt McCoy will even have a say on offensive play calling.
We heard earlier this week that edge rusher Chandler Jones had tested positive, and he’s unlikely to play tomorrow after showing symptoms. The team will also be without GM Steve Keim, who tested positive and won’t make the trip to Cleveland. QB coach Cam Turner and defensive tackle Zach Allen also tested positive and won’t travel with the team.
As a result of the positive tests, the Cardinals are now dealing with “enhanced COVID-19 protocols,” but the NFL doesn’t have any intention of rescheduling or postponing tomorrow’s game.
Why was my comment deleted?
Because you’re living in dreamland.
He’s on a mission.
And because you stupid
I love the photo…which seems to confirm my belief that NFL coaches have to fail a course in fashion to get hired.
why cant he just coach from the somewhere else?
Same reason that the Browns had to play without Shimanski last year in the playoffs. It violates the rules. You know ‘da rules’ that nobody gets held accountable to unless their socks are too low or they paint something on their cleats.
Can’t fix stupid
Yep he is “vaccinated” therefore he’s stupid for taking something that would render himself vulnerable against the “covid” then being a super spreader among the “vaccinated”.
Thank God we have all these people COVID “experts” on here that drive around talking to hospitals. I can feel good watching football knowing you have it figured out for humanity.
I expect the Redbirds to look past the Texans to the more important Thursday game against the Packers. At no time in their history have they been 18 point favorites. Just too many to lay.
