The Arizona Cardinals wrapped up their week of practice and have released their final injury report. Four players have been ruled out and another three are questionable.
For the second week in a row, kicker Zane Gonzalez will not play. His back injury kept him out of practice all week. Mike Nugent will get elevated from the practice squad on Saturday and then handle the kicking duties.
Defensive lineman Jordan Phillips (hamstring) and safety Jalen Thompson (ankle) will miss another game, while outside linebacker Kylie Fitts (hamstring) got hurt on Thursday and missed practice on Friday. He was also ruled out.
Running back Chase Edmonds (ankle), guard Justin Pugh (calf) and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (hamstring) are all questionable. Edmonds only practiced on a limited basis on Friday. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said they would make a determination as to whether he can play on Saturday.
Pugh did not practice at all during the week. If he can’t go, Justin Murray will likely move from right guard to left guard and J.R. Sweezy will start on the right side.
Kirkpatrick got limited work on Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday and likely will play.
Kickoff on Sunday will be at 2:05 p.m. local time.
