Cardinals inactives: Larry Fitzgerald out, Chase Edmonds in vs. Rams

Jalen Thompson and Maxx Williams also make their return to the lineup.

The Arizona Cardinals will not have receiver Larry Fitzgerald or receiver Christian Kirk as they take on the Los Angeles Rams this afternoon. Kirk was placed on the COVID-19 list on Saturday and Fitzgerald was named among the Cardinals’ inactives.

They will, though, have running back Chase Edmonds.

Both Fitzgerald and Edmonds were questionable for the game with injuries.

Here is the full list of inactives:

  • QB Brett Hundley
  • RB Eno Benjamin
  • WR Larry Fitzgerald
  • CB Jace Whittaker
  • OL Lamont Gaillard
  • OL Josh Miles

With no Fitzgerald or Kirk in the lineup, the Cardinals will need Andy Isabella and KeeSean Johnson to step up.

The Cardinals do get a couple of players back into the lineup. Tight end Maxx Williams will suit up and safety Jalen Thompson returns after several weeks. His return will make up for the loss of Chris Banjo, who also was placed on the COVID list this weekend.
