A look at which Cardinals players did not practice Thursday and which ones were limited.
The Arizona Cardinals had their first regular practice of the week on Thursday in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams after having a walkthrough on Wednesday and released their second injury report of the week. The Rams also had a normal practice after their walkthrough Wednesday.
Safety Budda Baker cleared the concussion protocol and after being limited Wednesday was a full participant Thursday. Right tackle Kelvin Beachum, listed as having a rest day went from not practicing Wednesday to limited on Thursday.
Safety and core special teams player Kitan Crawford departed the injury report and was placed on injured reserve Thursday because of an ankle injury.
