Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) was again a nonparticipant at practice, while defensive lineman Walter Nolen III was again a limited participant for the third practice in a row due to a knee injury.
Nolen III was ruled questionable for Sunday’s game, as Arizona (3-10) is ramping up to play the Texans (8-5) in Houston.
A handful of key Cardinals players were ruled out for Sunday, including Harrison, starting guard Evan Brown and safeties Jalen Thompson and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson.
Cornerback Max Melton (heel) again did not participate and was ruled out after he was limited on Wednesday.
Running back Trey Benson had the rest of his season shut down after coach Jonathan Gannon announced he will not come off injured reserve. Starting left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. is also out against the Texans after injuring his MCL.
