The Arizona Cardinals had two players listed as questionable to play in their Week 2 home opener against the L.A. Rams. Rookie Max Melton, who worked through the concussion protocol and was questionable, was cleared and was not among the Cardinals’ inactive players, announced 90 minutes before kickoff.
However, the debut fo undrafted rookie receiver Xavier Weaver will need to wait another week. Questionable with an oblique injury, Weaver was announced as inactive.
The full list for the Cardinals:
Arizona Cardinals Week 2 inactive list
- CB Darren Hall
- LB Jesse Luketa
- DL Dante Stills
- OL Jon Gaines II
- TE Travis Vokolek
- WR Xavier Weaver
Hall, Luketa, Gaines and Vokolek are inactive as healthy scratches for the second straight game. Stills is an interesting scratch. It means that Julian Okwara, signed to the active roster from the practice squad, will be active and play.
With the Rams often using three-receiver sets, the Cardinals don’t anticipate needing as many defensive linemen to play. Five would dress for the game after all six were active and played against the Bills.
