The Arizona Cardinals announced which players were deactivated for their Week 12 road game against the Seattle Seahawks 90 minutes before kickoff.
While safety Jalen Thompson was already ruled out to miss a second consecutive game, there was hope that rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson, one of the team’s two first-round picks, would make his NFL debut coming back from a calf injury that had him on injured reserve for several weeks.
However, that debut will be delayed at least another week. He was among the team’s six inactive players. He was questionable on the final injury report to play.
Rookie cornerback Max Melton, though, was not deactivated. He was downgraded on the injury report on Sunday morning to questionable with an illness, but he would dress. It was unknown how much it would limit him.
Here are the players they deactivated:
Cardinals Week 12 inactive list
- S Jalen Thompson
- DL Darius Robinson
- OLB Julian Okwara
- OL Christian Jones
- TE Travis Vokolek
- WR Xavier Weaver
Jones, Vokolek and Weaver have been regularly inactive this season.
Okwara has been supplanted by Baron Browning in the lineup.
Right tackle Jonah Williams, activated from injured reserve this week, was left active. We will see if he starts or rotates with Kelvin Beachum at right tackle.
