Cardinals place RB Darrel Williams on IR with hip injury

After returning from a knee injury, he now must miss at least the next four games on injured reserve.

The Arizona Cardinals took another hit to their running back room. Just days after running back Darrel Williams returned from a knee injury to play on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, he was placed on injured reserve.

He was a non-participant in the Cardinals’ walkthrough on Wednesday, appearing on the first injury report of the week and, according to the team site’s Darren Urban, was seen using crutches.

Williams must now miss at least four games before he can return.

In six games he has played this season, he has rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on 4.9 yards per attempt, and he four catches for nine yards.

LT D.J Humphries day-to-day with back injury

He missed Sunday’s 34-26 loss with a back injury. Kliff Kingsbury wouldn’t commit to his being available against the Seahawks.

The Arizona Cardinals lost to the Minnesota Vikings 34-26 on Sunday with three starting offensive linemen missing. Left guard Justin Pugh is out for the rest of the year after tearing his ACL. Center Rodney Hudson missed his fourth straight game with a knee injury and left tackle D.J. Humphries missed a game for the first time this season with a back injury he suffered at the end of the Cardinals’ Week 7 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Humphries’ status for the Cardinals’ Week 9 home game this week against the Seattle Seahawks is in question.

“We’ll see how it goes,” coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday. “It’s day-to-day right now, and that’s all we can kind of go with.”

Kingsbury did say that Humphries would have played on Sunday had the team allowed him to.

“We want to be smart with that deal.”

Josh Jones started in Humphries’ place was did not play poorly.

The Cardinals’ first injury report of the week will come out following Wednesday’s practice.

C Rodney Hudson expected to be out again vs. Seahawks

The Cardinals anticipate Hudson missing a fifth consecutive game with a knee injury.

The Arizona Cardinals are not expected to have center Rodney Hudson for a fifth straight game. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury basically ruled him out for the Cardinals’ Week 9 home game against the Seattle Seahawks.

He has been out since Week 4 with a knee injury.

“I would say at least this week he’ll be out,” Kingsbury said Monday. “I’m not sure moving forward where that’ll be, but at some point in the future I expect him back.”

The Cardinals had Sean Harlow start in two of the games Hudson has missed and, more recently, Billy Price was the starter. Both played well in their first appearance and struggled in their second.

In the four games without Hudson in the lineup, the Cardinals have gone 1-3, winning only their Week 7 home game against the New Orleans Saints.

The Cardinals enter a three-game stretch playing all NFC West opponents.

Kingsbury suggested last week that Hudson could be back in a couple of weeks. Perhaps he will be able to go when the Cardinals travel to Los Angeles in Week 10 to face the Rams for the second time this season.

Matt Ammendola to kick for Cardinals vs. Seahawks as Matt Prater out again

Kliff Kingsbury said it was unlikely that Matt Prater would be able to play in Week 6 and is still confident Ammendola’s abilities.

The Arizona Cardinals relied on Matt Ammendola on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles to kick in place of Matt Prater, who injured his right hip. After missing a field goal at the end of the game that could have sent the game into overtime, Ammendola will get another shot to help the team.

Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters Wednesday, “It doesn’t look like (Prater) will make it this week.”

With Prater expected to miss the game on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, it means Ammendola will again handle the kicking duties.

After the missed kick Sunday, the Cardinals did not bring in any other kickers and even signed him to the active roster from the practice squad as one of several roster moves the team announced Wednesday.

Kingsbury still has confidence in Ammendola despite missing the 43-yard field goal against the Eagles.

“Like I said last week, we’ve seen him kick well in practice and he’s kicked well in games in this league, so we’re past it and onto this week,” he said.

Kingsbury is hopeful that Prater will be able to kick in the team’s Week 7 game against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night.

Cardinals will be without at least 2 RBs vs. Seahawks

James Conner is day-to-day, Darrel Williams is out this week and Jonathan Ward will be placed on injured reserve.

The Arizona Cardinals lost three running backs to injury in their 20-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. At least two of them will miss this week’s game on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Jonathan Ward, who pulled his hamstring early in Sunday’s game, will be placed on injured reserve and will have to miss at least four games.

Starter James Conner, who suffered a rib injury, is more day-to-day. His status will be know more later in the week.

Darrel Williams, who suffered a knee injury, is out this week.

That leaves Eno Benjamin and rookie Keaontay Ingram as the only healthy backs on the roster.

Ingram will get to make his NFL debut and, if Conner is unable to play or is at all limited, will likely see playing time on offense.

The Cardinals will only hold a walkthrough Wednesday instead of a full practice and their first injury report will be released Wednesday afternoon.
