Have a look at which Cardinals players were out on Wednesday and which were limited.
The Arizona Cardinals opened their practice week Wednesday in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a walkthrough and released their first injury report of the week, so the injury status is an estimation of what it would have been if there was a regular practice.
Of the 12 players listed with injuries, six did not practice and six were limited. Right tackle Kelvin Beachum had his usual rest day, while left guard Evan Brown remains away from the team dealing with a family issue.
Five of those not practicing are starters, while four who are limited are starters.
One of those is safety Budda Baker, who was evaluated for a concussion during Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons and was cleared to return. However, Baker experienced symptoms Monday and is now in the protocol.
The best news was safety Jalen Thompson returning to practice after missing two games and six practices because of a hamstring injury.
Defensive lineman L.J. Collier was activated from injured reserve after suffering a knee injury in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. He is not on the injury report.
Nor are cornerback Garrett Williams (Achilles) and defensive lineman Walter Nolen III (knee), who were placed on injured reserve this week.
The Bengals list four players not practicing, two limited and one full with only one a starter.
The full details of Wednesday’s injury report are below. Starters are noted with an asterisk.
