The Arizona Cardinals have lost a receiver, Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, and quickly added another one via a trade Monday, former Carolina Panther Robbie Anderson.
Brown injured his foot in the Cardinals’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Some good news for #AZCardinals WR Hollywood Brown: Following the MRI, his foot isn’t as bad as was initially thought. It’s a small, non-surgical fracture, source said. Recovery time is about 6 weeks. He’s getting a second opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson before moving forward.

While the Cardinals get DeAndre Hopkins back from suspension in Week 7, they still needed another WR.
The perfect fit was Anderson, who wore out his welcome in Carolina on Sunday.
He got into an argument with the position coach and then was bounced from the bench by interim coach Steve Wilks.

Timing is everything. The compensation, per Adam Schefter:
Compensation update: Panthers traded WR Robbie Anderson to the Cardinals in exchange for a 6th-round pick in 2024 and a 7th-round pick in 2025, per source.

Unfortunately for all, the Panthers have already played the Cardinals, losing to them 26-16 in Week 4.
