The Arizona Cardinals’ initial injury report for their 2025 opener against the New Orleans Saints includes two players, offensive linemen Will Hernandez and Jon Gaines II.
Hernandez is listed as limited with a knee issue, as he was a late re-signing and is working his way back from a serious knee injury from last season.
Gaines is listed as a full participant on Wednesday with a thumb injury.
The Saints included five players on their first injury report, with projected starting left guard Trevor Penning out with a toe issue on Wednesday.
Starting cornerback Alontae Taylor (groin) and pass rusher Chase Young (calf) were limited.
