The Arizona Cardinals will try to get back on the winning track in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens this Monday without second-year starting tight end Darren Fells, who is out because of his left shoulder injury. 

Fells played in all of the Cardinals' first six games of the 2015 regular season, having nine receptions for 146 yards and two touchdowns. 

Last season, the 29-year-old played in his first season with Arizona, having 10 appearances but only five receptions for 71 yards and zero touchdowns. 

The Cardinals are currently 4–2 in their 2015 campaign but are looking to win again after falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers 25–13 in their Week 6 game held last Oct. 18. 

In Fells' absence, CBS Sports reported that likely stepping up is veteran tight end Jermaine Gresham who is playing his first year with the Cardinals this season. 

The two-time Pro Bowler was the 21st overall-pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2010 National Football League (NFL) Draft and played his first five seasons with the team before signing with the Cardinals last July. 

Gresham played in all six games for Arizona this season, having five receptions for 51 yards. 

In a report by Arizonasports.com, the 27-year-old tight end expressed his readiness to take over Fells' duties while he is away. 

"I'm ready. That's why they brought me here, that's why they pay me, to be ready. I'm ready," Gresham stated. 

"I think I'm close (to being in football shape). With the surgery and everything, I'm back to 100 percent. I can do anything and everything, so I feel pretty good. That's not a problem with me right now; just trying to focus on football," he added. 

Following their game against the Ravens, the Cardinals will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 8 before having their bye week in Week 9. They will then resume action on Nov. 15, taking on the Seattle Seahawks for their Week 10 game.
