The Arizona Cardinals appear set for the return of right tackle Kelvin Beachum after missing a game. The team announced two practice squad elevations and only one is an offensive lineman.
They announced the standard elevation from the practice squad of tackle Charlie Heck and defensive lineman Angelo Blackson.
Beachum is officially questionable for the game with a hamstring injury that kept him limited in practice all week. He missed last week’s game against the Detroit Lions. Heck will be the backup swing tackle.
With defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga ruled out of the game with a knee injury, Blackson will play.
He gives the Cardinals six defensive linemen to play, as Justin Jones was placed on injured reserve this week.
They will have Blackson, L.J. Collier, Roy Lopez, Bilal Nichols, Dante Stills and recently signed Naquan Jones available to play the Commanders.
The Cardinals and Commanders kick off Sunday afternoon at 4:05 p.m. ET (1:05 p.m. Arizona time) at State Farm Stadium.
