Colts lose LB Darius Leonard, others to COVID list before game vs. Cardinals

The Colts add three players to the COVID list hours before their Week 16 game against the Cardinals.

The Arizona Cardinals appear to be catching a break in their Week 16 game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts will be missing some starters because of positive tests for COVID-19. They added three more players to their COVID reserve Saturday, including starting linebacker Darius Leonard.

Leonard, safety Khari Willis and receiver Zach Pascal were placed on the COVID list on Saturday. They already are without cornerback Rock Ya-Sin and both starting guards to the COVID list.

Willis is a starter. He has two interceptions, 1.5 sacks and 54 tackles on the season. Leonard is a four-time Pro Bowler selected again this season. He has 103 tackles, a league-leading six forced fumbles and three interceptions.

Pascal is a starter at receiver. He has 36 receptions for 369 yards and three scores this season.

The Cardinals and Colts kick off at 6:15 p.m. Arizona time at State Farm Stadium tonight.

RB James Conner expected to play vs. Colts despite heel injury

Conner did not practice all week with a heel injury and is listed as questionable for the game. Adam Schefter reports he will play.

The Arizona Cardinals will have a full running back room tonight when they take on the Indianapolis Colts. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, running back James Conner is expected to play.

Conner has a heel injury and did not practice at all this week. He is officially questionable for the game.

Conner, who was named to the Pro Bowl this week for the second time in his career, told reporters Thursday that he hoped to play and it would be a matter of pain management.

Conner leads the Cardinals with 700 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns.

He will share the load with Chase Edmonds, who is in his second game back from injury after missing four weeks with a high ankle sprain.

Edmonds had six carries for 53 yards last week and Conner added 39 on eight carries in the Cardinals’ disappointing 30-12 loss to the Detroit Lions.

The Colts allow 109.6 rushing yards per game on 4.5 yards per attempt.

Cardinals P Andy Lee lands on COVID list after positive test for virus

The punting and kicking game could be impacted for the Cardinals in their game against the Colts if he is not activated by Saturday.

The Arizona Cardinals might need a new punter this weekend against the Indianapolis Colts. Their regular punter, Andy Lee, has tested positive for COVID-19 and has been placed on the COVID list.

He was one of 33 players around the league to test positive and land on the list.

Based on new league protocols, there is the possibility he could be activated before the game on Saturday, but that depends on the circumstances of his positive test.

Either way, the Cardinals will need to sign a punter Thursday. No punter visits or tryouts appeared on the NFL transaction list for the Cardinals.

If Lee is unable to go, it could impact both the punting and kicking game, as Lee also serves as the team’s holder for field goals.

Jordan Phillips, Rondale Moore day-to-day with injuries

Kliff Kingsbury doesn’t think Phillips or Moore will get much practice early in the week.

The Arizona Cardinals lost defensive lineman Jordan Phillips and receiver Rondale Moore to injuries late in the team’s 30-12 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Phillips suffered a knee injury and Moore injured his ankle.

Both had MRIs on Monday to determine the severity.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury was asked about them again on Tuesday when he spoke with reporters and suggested there is at least a chance that both could play this Saturday, even if it is a small one.

“They’ll be day-to-day,” Kingsbury said. “I doubt they’ll do much over the next couple of days. Possibly later in the week, we’ll be able to get them moving around and see if they can make it by Saturday.”

If they can at least get limited work by the end of the week, they perhaps can play some.

Phillips missed time earlier this season with a back injury. In nine games so far this season, he has 14 tackles and three sacks.

Moore has 54 receptions for 435 yards and a touchdown.
