Cardinals add WR Anderson from Panthers; Brown injured
Published
The Arizona Cardinals have acquired wide receiver Robbie Anderson from the Carolina Panthers.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter the Cardinals sent a 2024 sixth-round pick and a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Panthers in the trade.
Anderson was sent to the locker room by head coach Steve Wilks in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
“It was a sideline-type situation and that's something we will discuss as we further get into the week,” Wilks said of the incident Sunday.
Anderson got into an argument with receivers coach Joe Dailey in the first half and exchanged words with Dailey again in the third quarter, leading to Wilks' decision.
The receiver said post-game he wasn't happy being taken out on third down and expressed his displeasure.
“It's third down, it's a money down. I don’t think I should be okay with that (being taken out),” Anderson said. “So I made a comment on why I was taken out.
“Honestly, I was confused because I have never been told get out of the game. And, you know, upset by that. Nobody that is a true competitor would be OK with that."
Anderson has 13 catches for 206 yards this season after posting five catches for 102 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' season-opener against the Cleveland Browns.
Cardinals Without Brown?
Schefter reports Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown suffered a potentially season-ending foot injury on Sunday.
Acquired from the Baltimore Ravens in the off-season, Brown has 43 catches for 485 yards and three touchdowns this season.
The Cardinals dropped to 2-4 with Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Panthers are last in the NFC South with a 1-5 record.
Arizona will be back on the filed Thursday against the New Orleans Saints.
