GLENDALE – The Arizona Cardinals Week 15 injury report is a sad state of affairs. If being 3-10 wasn’t enough, Arizona enters this matchup with 13 players on the injury report, with eight of them being ruled out. The headliners are Marvin Harrison Jr. and Paris Johnson Jr. being out for the offense, while CB1 Max Melton will be in street clothes as well.

Harrison is missing his fourth game in five weeks, while his Ohio State teammate Johnson is only missing his second game of the year. The offense looks for a rough Sunday against one of the elite defenses in the NFL without their top two guys.

Nolen is the marquee name in the questionable section, as he complete changes the dynamic of the Cardinals front seven. The defense has struggled to stop the run and generate pressure in Nolen’s absence. If he suits up, the 22-year-old will rejuvenate the unit against a middling pass rush in Houston. In only four games, Nolen has a sack, interception and touchdown. His insertion is crucial for Arizona to end its five-game losing streak.
