NFL: the GM of the Cardinals takes a break for health reasons

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim is taking a leave of absence for health reasons, the team announced Wednesday.

Vice President of Player Personnel Quentin Harris and Vice President of Professional Personnel Adrian Wilson will assume Keim’s duties on an interim basis.

The team said it would make no further comment “out of respect for the privacy” of its CEO.

Keim, 50, has been the Cardinals’ general manager since 2013 and signed an extension with the team in March that runs through the 2027 season.

The Cardinals are in the midst of a disappointing season, currently going 4-9 after Monday night’s 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots. In that game, quarterback Kyler Murray suffered a season-ending torn anterior cruciate ligament.
