Final Cardinals injury report: RB Chase Edmonds, DL Jonathan Bullard ruled out

The defensive secondary is expected to be at full strength, while the defensive line will have a new starter.

The Arizona Cardinals wrapped up their final day of practice on Friday and released their final injury report of the week. Only two players were ruled out.

Out

  • RB Chase Edmonds (hamstring)
  • DL Jonathan Bullard (foot)

Both players missed practice all week. With Edmonds out, Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury plans on using both David Johnson and Kenyan Drake as a committee of backs. Bullard has been starting since Zach Allen got hurt. With Bullard out, Zach Kerr will start and rookies Michael Dogbe and Miles Brown will rotate in.

Questionable

  • CB Tramaine Brock (hamstring)
  • DL Zach Kerr (knee)
  • OL Justin Murray (knee)
  • LB Terrell Suggs (back, hamstring)

Brock was a full participant in practice Friday after being limited the first two practices of the week. This suggests he will be back in the lineup. With Patrick Peterson expected to play, the Cardinals will be at full strength in the defensive secondary.

Kerr is expected to play. Murray is still considered day-to-day. Kingsbury would not say whether Murray will return the starting lineup, even if he is able to play, or if Justin Pugh will continue to play right tackle.

Suggs will be a game-day decision, although he has not missed a game this season despite missing a ton of practice time. He did not practice at all this week.

Linebacker tight end Maxx Williams (illness), defensive lineman Rodney Gunter (calf) and cornerback Patrick Peterson (calf) all were full participants in practice after being limited for two days.

Patrick Peterson will play vs. 49ers, per Cardinals DC Vance Joseph

Joseph told reporters Peterson was full speed on Thursday.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson suffered a calf injury in the second half of the team’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Based on his initial reaction during the game, it appeared it might be serious. However, it appears he will not miss any time.

He was officially limited in practice both on Wednesday and Thursday, and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph made a declaration to reporters after practice on Thursday.

“Pat looked fine,” he said. “He was full speed today, so he’ll play on Sunday.”

He also reiterated that fact a second time. “He’s healthy, so he’ll be out there ready to go.”

Peterson has never missed a game in his career because of an injury. The only six games he has ever missed were the six he was suspended this season to start the year.

If Joseph is right, he won’t start missing games this week.

He will have a chance to redeem himself against the 49ers. In his last outing in Week 9, he struggled. Now with a full week of preparation, he should play better.

Cardinals injury report: RB David Johnson off report; Patrick Peterson limited

David Johnson did not have any injury designation to start the week.

The Arizona Cardinals began their week of practice for Week 11 to prepare for the San Francisco 49ers and released their first injury report. For the first time in several weeks, running back David Johnson did not appear on it.

However, seven players did not practice. Five were because of injuries.

Did not practice

  • DL Jonathan Bullard (foot)
  • RB Chase Edmonds (hamstring)
  • WR Larry Fitzgerald (day off)
  • LB Chandler Jones (day off)
  • DL Zach Kerr (knee)
  • LB Terrell Suggs (hamstring, back)
  • TE Maxx Williams (illness)

Suggs has been on the injury report for several weeks and still has played. The day off was probably a mix of being a day off and dealing with his injuries. With both Kerr and Bullard unable to practice, it makes more sense now why the team placed rookie Zach Allen on injured reserve. If even one is unable to play on Sunday, they would need someone else available. Miles Brown becomes that guy.

Edmonds is still unlikely to play this week but should be good for after the bye, per Kliff Kingsbury.

Another six were limited.

Limited

  • CB Tramaine Brock (hamstring)
  • OL Lamont Gaillard (thumb)
  • LB Dennis Gardeck (ankle)
  • DL Rodney Gunter (calf)
  • OL Justin Murray (knee)
  • CB Patrick Peterson (calf)

Safety Deionte Thompson, who missed the game on Sunday with a knee injury, was a full participant on Wednesday. The fact that Peterson was limited should be optimistic. Murray practiced for the first time in a couple of weeks.

CB Patrick Peterson day-to-day with calf injury, will definitely be back after bye week

He might not be able to play this weekend against the San Francisco 49ers.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson suffered a calf injury that caused him to have to miss part of the fourth quarter of the team’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Initially after the game, coach Kliff Kingsbury did not know what Peterson’s status was with the injury.

He addressed the media Monday and he had a little more information.

He told reporters Peterson was day-to-day with a muscle injury in his calf. He did not know whether Peterson will be able to play this weekend against the San Francisco 49ers, but said Peterson “definitely” will be able to play after the bye week in December.

Peterson has never missed a game because of injury in his career. The only games he has missed were the six he missed at the start of this season when he was suspended.

If Peterson is unable to go, hopefully Tramaine Brock will return. Brock had a hamstring injury that kept him out on Sunday. That would allow him and Byron Murphy to start and then Kevin Peterson could come in as the third corner.

Patrick Peterson suffers calf injury, status unknown

Kliff Kingsbury did not know the severity of the injury after the game.

The Arizona Cardinals might have lost cornerback Patrick Peterson again. He left the game on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers twice with an injury.

He first left with an injury roughly midway through the third quarter but later returned. He left again with just over seven minutes remaining in the game and did not return.

After the game, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said it was a calf injury he sustained. He also did not know the severity of the injury.

If Peterson ends up having to miss any time, it will further test the depth of the secondary. Tramaine Brock missed the game on Sunday with a hamstring injury. Safety Deionte Thompson missed the game with a knee injury.

Kingsbury next will address the media Monday morning. Based on this season, we shouldn’t expect Kingsbury to give much information. We likely won’t know more until the injury reports for Week 11 come out beginning Wednesday.
