Cardinals inactives: Devon Kennard out; DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk, Dre Kirkpatrick will play

The Cardinals will not have Kennard in the lineup but Dre Kirkpatrick is good to go after passing concussion protocol.

The Arizona Cardinals released their list of inactive players for their Week 4 contest against the Carolina Panthers. They will have their full offensive arsenal.

Receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Christian Kirk, both questionable for the game, are officially active and should take their place in the starting lineup. Center Mason Cole, who missed the last two weeks with a hamstring injury, also is active and will play.

Defensively, they will have cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, who was questionable with a concussion, is active and ready to go, but starting outside linebacker Devon Kennard, who sat out the entire week of practice with a calf injury, is inactive and will not play, meaning Haason Reddick will likely start in his place and get the majority of snaps.

Safeties Budda Baker and Chris Banjo were already ruled out of the game. Deionte Thompson and Curtis Riley will start at safety.

Here are the Cardinals’ inactives:

  • QB Brett Hundley
  • RB Eno Benjamin
  • S Chris Banjo
  • S Budda Baker
  • LB Devon Kennard
  • OL Josh Miles
  • OL Josh Jones
