Tagged as questionable Week 13
Beachum (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum ended Week 13 prep with a limited practice Friday after opening the week with back-to-back DNPs, which gives him a chance to play Sunday. If Beachum is not cleared to play, then Josh Fryar and Demontrey Jacobs would be the top candidates to start at right tackle.
Nov 23, 2025
Cleared to play Week 12
Beachum (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran offensive tackle injured his groin during the Cardinals' Week 11 loss to the 49ers. He was able to log a limited practice Friday after not participating in the first two sessions, and he's done enough to be cleared to play Sunday, when he'll start at right tackle.
Nov 21, 2025
Questionable for Week 12
Beachum (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Jonah Williams (knee) already out and placed on injured reserve, the Cardinals could be digging deep down the depth chart at right tackle. Josh Fryar would appear to be the next man up at the position.
Nov 16, 2025
Exits game with groin injury
Beachum (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum was working through a groin injury during Week 11 prep, and he may have aggravated the issue during Sunday's contest. Josh Fryar has entered the game at right tackle following Beachum's exit.
Nov 16, 2025
Able to play through groin issue
Beachum (groin) is active for Sunday's Week 11 tilt versus the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum dealt with a knee injury during the week and logged a DNP/LP/LP practice progression. He was deemed questionable entering the weekend but will give it a go Sunday. Beachum has primarily been working as a rotational offensive tackle for the Cardinals.
Nov 14, 2025
Working through groin injury
Beachum (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum logged a DNP-LP-LP practice log while managing a groin injury, which puts his status for Sunday's NFC West tilt in jeopardy. He would be slated to start at right tackle in the absence of Jonah Williams (shoulder), but if Beachum is also unable to play, then Josh Fryar and Demontrey Jacobs would be the other candidates for the start.
Oct 13, 2024
Cleared to play Sunday
Beachum (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Despite not logging a full practice during Week 6 prep, Beachum will suit up for a third straight game after missing Week 3 due to a hamstring issue. With Jonah Williams (knee) on IR, Beachum will start at right tackle.
Oct 6, 2024
Active for Week 5
Beachum (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
The veteran right tackle was listed as questionable but has been playing through the hamstring issue the last couple weeks.
Sep 29, 2024
Returning this week
Beachum (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Commanders, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum missed last week's loss to the Lions, but he'll return to action in Week 4. He should be the Cardinals' starter at right tackle.
Sep 22, 2024
Not playing Sunday
Beachum (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Beachum's inability to play will leave the team thin at offensive tackle. The SMU product had taken over at right tackle for Jonah Williams (knee), who is now on IR, so the Cardinals will have to essentially turn to their third-string option, which could be Charlie Heck or Jackson Barton.
Sep 20, 2024
In jeopardy of missing Week 3
Beachum (hamstring) did not participate in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum popped up on the Cardinals' injury report Thursday after logging a limited practice. The fact that he downgraded to a DNP on Friday doesn't bode well for his chance of playing Sunday. If that were the case, Jackson Barton would be the most likely candidate to start at right tackle, though that could be a weak spot that Aidan Hutchinson and the Lions' defensive front could target.
Sep 8, 2024
Steps up at right tackle
Beachum checked in at right tackle Sunday after starter Jonah Williams left the game with a knee injury, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran played in 11 games for Arizona in 2023, so the Cardinals will be optimistic Beachum can prove himself a steadying presence for the remainder of Sunday's contest at Buffalo. There's no timeline for Williams' return yet.
Sep 17, 2023
Good to go
Beachum (hand) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum didn't play in the regular-season opener after suffering a hand injury late in Week 1 prep. He's good to go for Week 2 and should serve as the Cardinals' swing tackle.
Sep 8, 2023
Not available for Sunday
Beachum (hand) is listed as out Friday for Sunday's game at Washington, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing practice Friday, Beachum will spend Arizona's regular-season opener on the sidelines. If either D.J. Humphries or Paris Johnson were to get hurt in Week 1, Carter O'Donnell could be asked to step in at tackle.
Sep 8, 2023
Not at practice Friday
Beachum (hand) did not participate at practice Friday ahead of Sunday's game at Washington, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
On the bright side for Arizona, Beachum was the only Cardinals player not at practice. If he misses time, the Cardinals will be relatively thin at the tackle position behind starters D.J. Humphries and Paris Johnson headed into Week 1.
Mar 14, 2023
Staying in Arizona
Beachum re-signed with the Cardinals on a two-year contract Monday, Bo Brack of PHNX Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum started all 17 games for Arizona in 2022. The right tackle is slated to make $5.15 million over the course of his contract, including $3.26 million guaranteed.
Jan 9, 2022
Returns Sunday
Beachum (back) has returned for the Cardinals against the Seahawks on Sunday, Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS

Jan 9, 2022
Questionable to return
Beachum (back) is questionable to return Sunday against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Beachum's absence will leave a hole in the Cardinals' offensive line until he can return. In the meantime, Josh Jones has taken over at right tackle.
Oct 10, 2021
Active against 49ers
Beachum (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Beachum had missed two games in a row but practiced on a limited basis this week and that was enough to confirm him as active. His presence would provide a boost to the offensive line.
Oct 9, 2021
Questionable for Week 5
Beachum (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum missed the last two games due to a rib injury but was a limited participant in practice this week. If he's unable to play against San Francisco, Sean Harlow could see an increased role since Justin Murray (back) is on injured reserve.
Oct 3, 2021
Will miss second straight game
Beachum (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Beachum initially played through the rib injury during Week 2, but he will be forced to miss his second straight contest Sunday. Justin Murray has already been ruled out against the Rams, so Eric Smith will likely draw the start at right tackle.
Sep 26, 2021
Won't play Week 3
Beachum (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum will sit out Week 3 after playing through the rib injury during Week 2. Justin Murray is likely to slide into the starting right tackle spot, but the Cardinals also promoted offensive linemen Koda Martin and Sean Harlow from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's contest.
Sep 20, 2021
Day-to-day
Beachum (ribs) is considered day-to-day with a rib injury, Dana Scott of AZ Central Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum fought through the same injury prior to Week 2 and ended up playing. While there were no reports regarding a setback, he is apparently still nursing the same issue. If Arizona ultimately decides to err on the side of caution, Justin Murray would presumably be in line to replace him at right tackle. His practice presence will need to be monitored as the week goes on.
Sep 19, 2021
Active Sunday
Beachum is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum was unable to practice early in the week but put in a limited practice Friday. This is excellent news for Kyler Murray and the rest of the Cardinals offense.
Sep 17, 2021
Game-time decision Sunday
Beachum (ribs) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum injured his ribs in the Cardinals' season opener against the Titans. The right tackle's status for Sunday is up in the air as of now. Josh Jones could see the start at tackle if Beachum is unable to play.
Sep 14, 2021
Considered day-to-day
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Beachum (ribs) is considered day-to-day, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum left Sunday's contest against the Titans at the start of the second half and never returned. If he is unable to suit up for Week 2, Josh Jones will likely draw the start at right tackle.
Sep 12, 2021
Injures ribs
Beachum (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans, Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
The injury means the Cardinals are at least temporarily without their starting right tackle. Josh Jones should take over in Beachum's stead.
Aug 3, 2021
Returns from COVID-19 list

ANALYSIS
Beachum spent the past four days on the COVID-19 list along with several teammates but now has been cleared to return to the practice field.
Jul 30, 2021
Joins teammates on COVID list
The Cardinals placed Beachum (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum and fellow starting offensive linemen Rodney Hudson (undisclosed) and Justin Pugh (undisclosed) were all sent to the COVID list Thursday. None of the three will be eligible to return to training camp until such time that they fully clear of the league's related protocols.
Mar 16, 2021
Remaining in Arizona
Beachum agreed to a two-year contract with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old joined Arizona on a one-year deal last summer and started all 16 games in his first season with the team. Beachum should remain the starter at right tackle in 2021 for the Cardinals.
Dec 13, 2020

ANALYSIS
Beachum popped up on the injury report Friday but has been cleared to play in a crucial game against the Giants. He'll start at right tackle.

Suiting up Sunday
Beachum (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Beachum logged a 'DNP/DNP/LP' slate of practices leading up to Sunday's contest, but he's nonetheless ready to suit up and draw his usual start at right tackle.
Jul 17, 2020
Gets chance in desert
The Cardinals signed Beachum to a one-year contract on Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum spent the last three years with the Jets, where he started in 45 of a possible 48 games. The 31-year-old boasts experience at both tackle positions, but he'll likely line up on the right side of the line in Arizona, where the team has a stronger need.
Dec 22, 2019
Ready to rock
Beachum (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Beachum was in doubt heading into Sunday's game, as he practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week. Now that he's officially active, he's expected to assume his usual role as the team's starting left tackle.
Dec 12, 2019
Will suit up Thursday
Beachum (ankle) is active for Thursday's matchup against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Beachum has been listed as questionable in numerous weeks before this, but has not missed a game in over a month. He should draw the start at left tackle for the Jets.
Dec 11, 2019
Questionable for TNF
Beachum (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest versus Baltimore, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum was carrying the questionable tag last week and wound up playing, so conventional wisdom suggests the 30-year-old tackle will be on the field Thursday night against the Ravens. Beachum's status will be confirmed approximately one hour before the 8:20 ET kickoff.
Dec 8, 2019
Clear for Sunday
Beachum (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Beachum received the questionable tag after working as a limited practice participant all week, but he's ready to play Week 14. The 30-year-old should take up his usual starting role protecting Sam Darnold's blindside.
Dec 7, 2019
Considered questionable
The Jets have labeled Beachum (ankle) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Beachum was limited at practice all week and looking like a true game-time decision. Connor McDermott would presumably be in line to protect quarterback Sam Darnold's blindside should he ultimately get ruled out.
Dec 1, 2019
Active Week 13
Beachum (ankle) is active for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

ANALYSIS
Beachum got limited practices in each day of the week. He missed three games earlier in the year with ankle problems as well.
Nov 25, 2019
Dealing with sprained ankle
Beachum has a sprained ankle but hopes to practice Wednesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
It appears Beachum suffered this injury during Sunday's win over this Raiders, and his projected quick recovery likely means he avoided the dreaded high-ankle sprain. If Beachum doesn't progress enough during the practice week, however, Conor McDermott may be deployed to protect Sam Darnold's blindside.
Nov 24, 2019
Ready to rock
Beachum (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's clash with the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Beachum was unable to log any practice time this week, but as evidenced by this news, it didn't stop him from game action. Now that he's officially healthy, he's expected to assume his starting role as the team's left tackle for Week 12.
Nov 22, 2019
Questionable with ankle injury
Beachum (ankle) has been deemed questionable ahead of Sunday's game versus the Raiders, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum could still dress Sunday, despite having not gone through a full practice. But if the Jets' starting left tackle us ultimately declared out of commission, Conor McDermott figures to be Beachum's replacement, tasked with protecting Sam Darnold's blind side.
Nov 18, 2019
Suffers ankle injury
Coach Adam Gase said Monday that Beachum has suffered another ankle injury, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Gase noted that Beachum's current ankle issue is different from the one that cause him to miss three games prior to Week 11. The starting left tackle has a chance to practice this week and suit up for Sunday's tilt against the Raiders, per Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record, so his status will warrant close monitoring. Conor McDermott would likely draw the start at left tackle if Beachum were forced to miss any time.
Nov 10, 2019
Cleared to play Sunday
Beachum (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Sam Darnold can breathe a little easier now that Beachum will return from a three-game hiatus to block his blindside.
Nov 8, 2019
Questionable for Sunday's game
Beachum (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Beachum has missed each of the last three games with an ankle injury and is now in danger of missing a fourth. Conor McDermott is in line to take over for Beachum at left tackle if he is unable to suit up.
Nov 3, 2019
Won't suit up Sunday
Beachum (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Beachum will miss his third consecutive contest due to a lingering ankle injury. In his stead, Chuma Edoga is the likeliest candidate to start at left tackle.
Nov 2, 2019
Officially questionable
Beachum (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
An ankle injury has sidelined Beachum for the Jets' previous two games. He was again unable to practice on Wednesday, but saw a limited workload the rest of the week. Chuma Edoga would presumably be in line to replace him at left tackle should he end up not getting cleared prior to kickoff.
Oct 25, 2019
Out against Jaguars
Beachum (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum will miss his second consecutive contest, and Chuma Edoga is expected to start at left tackle in his place. That could leave Sam Darnold's blind side vulnerable considering the Jaguars rank fifth in the league with 21 sacks.
Oct 21, 2019
No-go for Week 7
Beachum (ankle) won't play in Monday's divisional game against the Patriots, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum was considered doubtful for the contest anyways after he suffered the ankle injury last week and didn't log any practice time. The Jets have a few injured lineman returning for the game, but at left tackle in Beachum's stead, look for Chuma Edoga to get the start Monday.
Oct 19, 2019
Doubtful for Monday
Beachum (ankle) is considered doubtful for Monday's game against New England.
ANALYSIS
Beachum sustained the ankle injury last Sunday against the Cowboys and didn't practice this week, but he apparently still has an outside chance to face the Patriots. The Jets will likely be short on offensive line depth Monday, since Kelechi Osemele (shoulder) is also doubtful while Brian Winters (shoulder) and Ryan Kalil (shoulder) are questionable.
Oct 13, 2019
Injures ankle Sunday
Beachum was forced out of Sunday's win over the Cowboys with an ankle injury, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS

Sep 16, 2019
Ready to roll
Beachum (ankle) will suit up for Monday's home contest against the Browns, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum has been dealing the ankle injury as far back as the beginning of training camp, but was given the all-clear for Week 2. He'll be tasked with the starting left tackle role, protecting Trevor Siemian, who is filling in for usual starter Sam Darnold (illness).
Sep 14, 2019
Questionable for Monday
Beachum (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Browns.
ANALYSIS
RT Brian Winters (shoulder) is also questionable. This could be damaging for the Jets since QB Sam Darnold (illness) is out and RB Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) is questionable.
