The Arizona Cardinals released their second injury report of the week with a few changes. They only had three players sit out after eight did on Wednesday. However, receiver Larry Fitzgerald (groin) and running back Chase Edmonds (hip) were both unable to participate for the second day in a row. Fitzgerald did the same thing last week and still played but Edmonds’ injury comes from the game on Saturday so his status is more uncertain.
Tight end Darrell Daniels (hamstring) did not participate.
Receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hip), tight end Maxx Williams (ankle) and linebacker Haason Reddick (hip) were all upgraded on Thursday, all getting limited work on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. Hopkins most certainly will play, as will Reddick, but the fact Williams was able to go is good news.
Safety Budda Baker (neck) was a new addition to the report on Thursday. He was limited. Hopefully, it is what Kliff Kingsbury calls “lingering soreness,” as Hopkins and other players haver had with their necks in previous weeks.
Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (hamstring, calf) was limited for the second day in a row, while tight end Dan Arnold (back) and running back Jonathan Ward (ankle) went from limited on Wednesday to full participation.
Quarterback Kyler Murray (leg) and safety Jalen Thompson (ankle) were full participants for the second day in a row. It appears Thompson will be back in the lineup after several weeks, which is good because Chris Banjo, who had been playing in Thompson’s place, landed on the COVID list Thursday.
