Marquise Brown, Emari Demercado expected to play for Cardinals

Brown was questionable with a heel injury and Demercado missed three games with a toe injury.

The Arizona Cardinals entered the weekend with a few skill players listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. At least two are expected to play.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, receiver Marquise Brown and running back Emari Demercado are expected to play.

Brown was questionable with a heel injury that popped up during the week and didn’t practice on Friday.

Demercado missed the last three games with a toe injury after rushing for 78 yards in a starting role against the Baltimore Ravens. He got limited work in practice all week. We will see what role he has against the Rams, whether he will be James Conner’s backup or whether he plays in the third-down role for pass blocking, the role he held to start the season.

As rookie receiver Michael Wilson is out with a shoulder injury, having Brown is big.

The Cardinals and Rams kick off at 2:05 p.m. Arizona time at State Farm Stadium.

Cardinals, Rams getting pass-rushing production from rookie defenders

The Cardinals and Rams combine to have three of the six rookies leaguewide with at least 3.5 sacks on the season.

The Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams meet for the second and final time this season on Sunday. Both teams are getting nice pass-rushing contributions from some rookies.

In that first matchup, Rams rookie linebacker Byron Young, a third-round selection out of Tennessee, had a sack, a forced fumble and two quarterback hits to go with six tackles.

On the season, he has five sacks.

At that point, the Cardinals had only gotten one total sack from second-round linebacker BJ Ojulari and sixth-round defensive tackle Dante Stills.

Things have changed.

Stills has 3.5 sacks on the season and has been forced into the starting lineup with injuries.

Ojulari has finally emerged. He has four sacks now as a rookie, all in his last four games.

Only six rookies leaguewide have at least 3.5 sacks. Three of them are playing on Sunday in Glendale.
