Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Xavier Weaver is officially inactive for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Weaver was limited at practice on Thursday and did not practice at all on Friday.
The wide receiver in his second season out of Colorado has played in seven games this campaign and has three receptions for 24 yards on eight targets.
Other notable Cardinals players ruled out ahead of the Rams matchup include cornerback Max Melton (heel), safety Rabbit Taylor-Demerson (ankle) and offensive lineman Evan Brown (NIR-personal). Defensive lineman Walter Nolen III (knee) was ruled out on Friday.
Cardinals to be thin at wide receiver vs. Rams
The Cardinals will be down multiple receivers on Sunday. Coach Jonathan Gannon ruled out Marvin Harrison Jr. on Friday due to a heel injury the receiver suffered in last week’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Cardinals placed receiver Greg Dortch placed on injured reserve due to a chest injury on Saturday.
With Harrison, Dortch and Weaver all sidelined, wide receiver Michael Wilson is expected to resume the WR1 role for Arizona.
During the two games Harrison missed, Wilson had 303 yards on 25 catches.
To fill out the rest of the wide receiver room, the Cardinals elevated receivers Jalen Brooks and Trent Sherfield Sr. from the practice squad as standard elevations on Saturday.
