The Cardinals released their final injury report for Week 5.
The Arizona Cardinals conducted their final practice of the week on Friday in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans, and they released their final injury report of the week. Notably, starting left guard Evan Brown was downgraded from limited to not practicing and is considered doubtful.
Defensive lineman Darius Robinson is out, while rookie cornerback Denzel Burke was added to the report with a knee injury.
The full details of the final injury report are below. After each player’s injury, there is the daily status, which is either no status (NS), did not practice (DNP), limited (LIM) or Full. Starters are noted with an asterisk.
Arizona Cardinals final injury report: Ruled out*DL Darius Robinson (pectoral): DNP, DNP, DNP
Anthony Goodlow will likely be elevated from the practice squad. If so, it would be the final “free” elevation for him. With only four healthy linemen on the 53-man roster, Zach Carter is also a candidate for elevation. He was signed to the practice squad on Sept. 17. It’s not out of the question that Robinson could be placed on injured reserve Saturday and Goodlow signed to the active roster.
Doubtful*LG Evan Brown (hamstring): LIM, LIM, DNP
With Brown potentially unable to play, the possible replacements are Jon Gaines II and Will Hernandez with Nick Leverett potentially being elevated from the practice squad. Hernandez has been limited in every practice this season. He suffered a torn ACL in Week 5 last year.
Asked Friday about possibly playing this week, he said, “To me, it’s been a long time coming. I’ve waited literally a year for this. When I went out, I felt like I was at the highest of highs and definitely felt the lowest of lows. To me, it means more than just coming in and playing a few snaps of football. It means everything to me. It’s everything I worked for my entire life and everything I always took pride in. It means literally everything to me.”
