Cardinals coach Bruce Arians addresses Jonathan Dwyer's status

by Arun Srinivasan

Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians spoke to the media Thursday after running back Jonathan Dwyer was placed on the reserve/non-football illness list.

Dwyer was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault after allegedly head-butting his wife and fracturing her nose, and throwing a shoe at his 17-month-old son.

"Until he's exonerated he will not be a member of this football team. If and when he is exonerated, I will gladly take him back," Arians said at his press conference.

Arizona's rushing attack may struggle without Dwyer, as Andre Ellington has been battling foot pain all week.
