The Arizona Cardinals get a boost with their offensive and defensive lines. They welcome back starting left guard Justin Pugh and defensive lineman J.J. Watt to the lineup after missing the season opener.
They are both active after being officially questionable for the game on the final injury report of the week.
Also active is rookie tight end Trey McBride, who was a healthy scratch in Week 1.
However, in his return to Las Vegas, cornerback Trayvon Mullen, questionable for the game with a toe injury, will not dress. He is among the team’s inactives.
The Cardinals’ full list of inactives are:
- WR Andy Isabella
- WR Rondale Moore
- CB Trayvon Mullen
- RB Keaontay Ingram
- LB Myjai Sanders
- OL Lecitus Smith
- DL Jonathan Ledbetter
Smith and Ledbetter both were active last week.
Moore (hamstring) and Isabella (back) were ruled out of the game on Friday.
With both Moore and Isabella out, the Cardinals have only four healthy receivers, which is probably why McBride is active. Zach Ertz will play more and they will give McBride some looks.
Safety Jalen Thompson, questionable for the game with a toe injury, is active and will play.
