The Arizona Cardinals have been dealing with injuries on defense all season. Safety Budda Baker and defensive linemen L.J. Collier and Carlos Watkins are on injured reserve. Linebacker Josh Woods has missed three games. Linebacker Krys Barnes was basically unavailable for a game. Defensive linemen Leki Fotu and Jonathan Ledbetter have missed games.
The Cardinals play the Cincinnati Bengals this week at home and could get a couple back.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon is hopeful that Ledbetter and Woods will be back.
“I think so. We’ll see,” he said when asked about their return this week. “They’re trending the right way but we’ve got to go through the week of practice and see.”
The first injury report of the week will come out on Wednesday.
