Kenyan Drake, DeAndre Hopkins active; Andy Isabella inactive for Cardinals

Isabella is a healthy scratch for the first time this season.

The Arizona Cardinals have announced their list of inactive players for their Week 14 contest against the New York Giants. Two of their top offensive weapons — receiver DeAndre Hopkins and running back Kenyan Drake — are good to go. They will dress and play.

Both were officially questionable for the game on the final injury report of the week.

However, for the first time this season, receiver Andy Isabella is inactive. He is a healthy scratch.

Here is the full list:

  • QB Brett Hundley
  • RB Eno Benjamin
  • K Zane Gonzalez
  • OL Josh Miles
  • WR Andy Isabella
  • OL Max Garcia
  • S Jalen Thompson

Thompson was ruled out early in the week as he recovers from an ankle injury. Gonzalez was ruled out on Saturday. Mike Nugent, elevated from the practice squad on Saturday, will handle kicking duties.

Isabella’s being inactive is likely partly due to the return of Larry Fitzgerald and partly because of the game plan. Playing against a similar defense as the New England Patriots, they will likely emphasize the running game, using multiple tight ends.

With KeeSean Johnson active, watch for the role he might have.

Defensively, linebacker De’Vondre Campbell is active. He did not practice all week. He will likely have a limited role, with more snaps going to rookie Isaiah Simmons.
