The Arizona Cardinals wrapped up the week of practice on Friday as they get ready for their Week 17 win-or-go-home game against the Los Angeles Rams. No one has been ruled out of the game.
On the final injury report of the week, five players are questionable.
Safety Budda Baker (neck), running back Chase Edmonds (hip) and receiver Larry Fitzgerald (groin) did not practice on Friday. Baker was a new addition to the injury report on Thursday. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury Baker was sore but he was hopeful about his being able to play.
Neither Fitzgerald nor Edmonds got any physical reps in practice. Kingsbury said both would be game-time decisions as far as whether they could play. It would be a surprise, considering what is at stake and what questions there are about the future, if Fitzgerald misses the game. Both would be mentally prepared.
Tight ends Maxx Williams (ankle) and Darrell Daniels (hamstring) are the other two listed as questionable. Daniels got limited work on Friday for the first time but also played in a similar situation last week, while Williams was limited Thursday and Friday. Both will likely play on Sunday, although with four tight ends on the roster, their roles might be lessened to keep them from getting further injured.
The rest of the players all practiced fully. Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and safety Jalen Thompson should both be back in the lineup. Kirkpatrick active but did not play in Week 16 and Thompson has not played since Week 11.
Ruled out:
- None
Questionable:
- TE Darrell Daniels (hamstring)
- RB Chase Edmonds (hip)
- S Budda Baker (neck)
- WR Larry Fitzgerald (groin)
- TE Maxx Williams (ankle)
