The Arizona Cardinals released their inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff against the Miami Dolphins and there were absolutely no surprises.
Defensive tackle Roy Lopez and cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting, both starters and both ruled out with injuries (Lopez injured his ankle and Murphy-Bunting his neck), were deactivated.
Starting right tackle Kelvin Beachum, questionable with a hamstring injury, was active and set to start.
The other inactive were more or less as expected.
