The Arizona Cardinals got a little healthier in Week 5. Linebacker Josh Woods, out of the lineup since Week 1 with an ankle injury, returned and was active against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Offensive lineman Will Hernandez, who was questionable for the game after missing some practice time with a back injury, also was good to go. Both players were active.
The Cardinals’ inactive players were no surprise:
Arizona Cardinals Week 5 inactive list
- S Quantrezz Knight
- RB Keaontay Ingram
- OL Carter O’Donnell
