The Arizona Cardinals do not know yet whether quarterback Kyler Murray and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will play Sunday afternoon against the San Francisco 49ers. Both are listed as questionable for the game, according to the final injury report of the week.
Murray has an ankle injury and Hopkins has a hamstring injury.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, their availability for the game will be determined by pre-game warmups.
Cardinals’ QB Kyler Murray, listed as questionable for today due to a sprained ankle, is expected to test his injury in pre-game warmups before Arizona makes a final decision on his status. Cardinals want to be careful. If Murray can’t start, Colt McCoy will.

Murray will test his ankle sprain in warmups and see what he can do. Schefter says the Cardinals “want to be careful.” Murray wants to play. He did not practice all week.
According to Schefter, things don’t look as good for Hopkins. They want to see him move around in warmups before deciding whether or not to have him dress for the game.
Arizona doesn’t sound as optimistic that WR DeAndre Hopkins, who is listed as questionable due for Sunday due to a hamstring injury, will be able to play. But Cardinals also want to see Hopkins in pre-game warmups before making decision.

If Murray is unable to start, Colt McCoy will replace him.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the team is not optimistic about Murray’s chances.
According to SI.com’s Albert Breer, the staff is under the impression that neither he nor Hopkins will play.
If Hopkins can’t play, it means they will be without both him and A.J. Green, who is currently on the COVID list after testing positive for the virus earlier in the week.
