In the same week in which the Cardinals waived veteran tight end Zach Ertz (quadriceps), McBride himself managed just two limited practices (Thursday and Friday) and now has an injury designation ahead of Week 13 action. McBride's status will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1.00 p.m. ET kickoff, and if he's deemed active, he'll look to continue his rapport with quarterback Kyler Murray, which has amounted to 20 catches (on 25 targets) for 234 yards and no touchdowns over the last three contests.

Status up in air for Sunday
In the same week in which the Cardinals waived veteran tight end Zach Ertz (quadriceps), McBride himself managed just two limited practices (Thursday and Friday) and now has an injury designation ahead of Week 13 action. McBride's status will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1.00 p.m. ET kickoff, and if he's deemed active, he'll look to continue his rapport with quarterback Kyler Murray, which has amounted to 20 catches (on 25 targets) for 234 yards and no touchdowns over the last three contests.
No practice Thursday
McBride has been on a tear of late with quarterback Kyler Murray under center, hauling in 20 of 25 targets for 234 yards over the last three games. As the Cardinals make their way through Week 13 prep, McBride has yet to mix into drills and now has just one more chance to do so before the team potentially makes a ruling on his availability for Sunday's contest at Pittsburgh.
Another fruitful outing in Week 10
In quarterback Kyler Murray's return to the lineup from last December's ACL tear, McBride paced the Cardinals in every receiving category, with Rondale Moore's 5-43-0 line on eight targets a distant second to the second-year tight end. McBride came close to replicating his 10-95-1 line on 14 targets from Week 8, when he was working with now-Vikings QB Joshua Dobbs. Those outings aside, though, McBride has surpassed 40 receiving yards only one time in his other eight games. Perhaps the connection displayed between Murray and McBride will be the norm moving forward, and their next chance to keep it up arrives Sunday, Nov. 19 at Houston.
Limited to three grabs in shutout
McBride's catch and yardage totals, modest as they were, qualified as the second highest for the Cardinals on an afternoon when rookie Clayton Tune threw for only 58 yards in his starting debut. Despite the downturn following a breakout 10-catch, 95-yard, one-touchdown performance versus the Ravens in Week 8, McBride could reemerge as a significant component in the air attack if Kyler Murray (knee) is activated ahead of a Week 10 home matchup against the Falcons.
Larger workload on tap
After taking a back seat to Ertz from Weeks 1-5, McBride usurped him in terms of offensive snaps Week 6 before matching him at 35 apiece this past Sunday in Seattle. An increase in production for the second-year tight end has followed, as he's hauled in seven of 11 targets for 91 yards over the last two games after putting up an 8-79-0 line on 10 targets through the first five contests. With Ertz on the shelf for at least the next four outings, McBride becomes the Cardinals' No. 1 TE, with only veteran Geoff Swaim (3-30-0 on four targets this season) and rookie sixth-rounder Elijah Higgins (1-0-0 on one target) serving as the team's other options on the depth chart.
