The injury-riddled Arizona Cardinals were still a formidable opponent for the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Sunday’s 20-17 loss.
The team will hope for key players to return from injury as it faces the daunting task of hosting the NFC West-leading Los Angeles Rams in Week 14.

Who is listed on the Cardinals’ injury report?
Of the extensive injury report the Cardinals have, here are some notable names to keep an eye on this week.
1) Marvin Harrison Jr.
Harrison played in last week’s loss to Tampa Bay, but did not participate in Wednesday’s practice with a heel injury he suffered in that game. If the event Harrison doesn’t play this week, look for Michael Wilson to step into the WR1 role once again.
This season, Harrison ranks 42nd among wide receivers in PFSN’s WRi with a 76.0 grade.
2) Trey Benson
Benson also did not practice on Wednesday, marking his third straight practice he’s missed since his practice window opened. Benson was played on Injured Reserve with a knee injury on Oct. 1, if he isn’t activated to the 53-man roster by Dec. 10, he’ll remain there for the rest of the season.
3) Walter Nolen III
The rookie defensive lineman also did not participate in Wednesday’s practice due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 12. Nolen has been limited to just four games this season after missing the first seven games due to a calf injury he sustained in training camp.
4) Greg Dortch
Dortch is another Cardinals receiver to not participate in practice to start the week due to a chest injury. The team’s wide receiver room will be thinner if both he and Harrison are out for this week’s game.
5) Max Melton
Melton was also held out of practice on Wednesday for a heel injury he sustained against the Jacksonville Jaguars. That injury also held him out of last week’s loss to Tampa Bay.
6) Kelvin Beachum
Beachum logged a DNP in Wednesday’s practice as he manages a groin injury. The injury has not held him out of a game, but it has forced him to miss practices.
7) Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
The second-year safety missed another practice due to an ankle injury that has had him sidelined since Week 11. Taylor-Demerson ranks at the 47th safety with a 73.3 grade this season according to PFSN’s Safety Impact ratings.
8) Emari Demercado
Emercado logged a limited session of practice after missing the past two games with an ankle injury. Should Benson not play, look for Demercado to help balance out the backfield.
