Kyler Murray is among those Cardinals players who are questionable to play against the Colts.
The Arizona Cardinals concluded their practice preparations Friday for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts and released their final injury report of the week. There were some significant updates from Thursday.
Front and center is quarterback Kyler Murray, who was upgraded to limited and designated as questionable. After head coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday morning, “We’ll see how it goes” in the next couple days with the questionable players, when asked what he has to see from Murray, Gannon said, “Have a good day.”
Of course, it’s not out of the question that there is some gamesmanship at play, so the Colts have to guess at Murray’s availability.
Four players who were limited on Wednesday and Friday were upgraded to full participation on Friday and have no game-status designation.
However, punter Blake Gillikin was downgraded to not practicing and questionable after being added as limited Thursday. The Cardinals signed punter Pat O’Donnell to the active roster in the event Gillikin is unable to kick.
The full details of the Cardinals’ 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 Week 6 final injury report: Ruled out*DL Darius Robinson (pectoral): DNP, DNP, DNP
This will be the second consecutive game that Robinson is inactive.
QuestionableP Blake Gillikin (back): NS, LIM, DNPWR Zay Jones (knee): LIM, LIM, LIM*CB Max Melton (hamstring): LIM, LIM, LIM*QB Kyler Murray (foot): DNP, DNP, LIMLB Cody Simon (knee): LIM, LIM, LIM*ILB Mack Wilson Sr. (ankle): LIM, LIM, LIM
Melton did not play against the Titans. Johnson returned to the field last Sunday after missing two games. Gillikin currently ranks fourth in the NFL in gross average (51.7) and net (45.4)
No game designationT Kelvin Beachum (not injury related/rest): DNP, Full, NS*LG Evan Brown (hamstring): LIM, LIM, Full*DL Calais Campbell (not injury related/rest): NS, NS, DNP*RG Will Hernandez (knee): LIM, LIM, Full*CB Will Johnson (groin): LIM, LIM, Full*RT Jonah Williams (knee): LIM, LIM, Full
Hernandez played the first 23 snaps (34 percent) on Sunday at right guard as Isaiah Adams moved to left guard. With Brown back practicing Friday and expected to play, it appears Hernandez will share time with Adams on the right side this week. This was the first practice since he returned to the field after the roster reduction to 53 that he was designated as practicing fully.
