The Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans meet Sunday in Week 15 in Houston, Texas, with kickoff slated for 1 p.m. ET.

The Cardinals are reportedly expecting to get Emari Demercado back against the Texans, while Houston's Nick Chubb likely won't play.

The Los Angeles Rams gave the struggling Arizona Cardinals no reprieve in a dominating win at State Farm Stadium.

At 3-10, each of the Arizona Cardinals' roster holes can be connected to moves made by general manager Monti Ossenfort in free agency or the draft.

To get a better gauge on the Cardinals, Texans Wire reached out to Jess Root, managing editor of Cardinals Wire, to help preview Sunday's contest.

The Arizona Cardinals continue to struggle and lose games, which means we must pay more and more attention to the order of the 2026 NFL draft. They suffered their fifth consecutive loss and 10th in their last 11 games, dropping to 3-10 on the season.

The Arizona Cardinals are coming off their bye, continuing to face major questions. Sitting within a loaded NFC West and looking to make a push for the playoffs, the team enters week 9 needing momentum. And possibly, to make some tough business decisions.

But with the task of the Cardinals at hand on their home field, the Texans still won't be overlooking the opposition en route to try and extend the streak to six. And for Houston's star pass-rusher, Will Anderson Jr., that starts with handing some major respect to Jacoby Brissett and what he can do for Arizona's offense.

But in a new 2026 mock draft from Draft Wire's Curt Popejoy, the Cardinals select a skill player. With the eighth overall pick, the Cardinals go with a local player — Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson. Tyson is an incredibly skilled pass catcher who has great hands, runs incredible routes and finds the end zone.
