Ruled out

WR Marquise Brown (foot), LB Dennis Gardeck (ankle), OL Rodney Hudson (knee), OL Justin Pugh (knee), RB Darrel Williams (knee)

Brown and Pugh will land on injured reserve. Pugh is out for the rest of the year and Brown is expected to be out about six weeks. Williams wasn’t expected to be able to play and Hudson was a 50-50 scenario. He will miss his third straight game.

Gardeck’s ankle injury will keep him out, which means rookies Cameron Thomas and Myjai Sanders likely will see a little more of a role on Thursday.

Questionable

RB James Conner (ribs), CB Trayvon Mullen (hamstring), K Matt Prater  (hip), S Jalen Thompson (hamstring)

Conner and Prater are considered Thursday decisions, although neither practiced at all this week.

Mullen was limited. all week. Thompson was limited Tuesday and Wednesday. The way to know whether he can play or not is whether or not the Cardinals bring up another safety from the practice squad.

Conner probably has a better chance of playing at least some than Prater. Expect Rodrigo Blankenship to be elevated from the practice squad Thursday afternoon.

No injury designation

RB Eno Benjamin (foot), LB Zaven Collins (shoulder), DL Michael Dogbe (elbow), DL Rashard Lawrence (hand)

All four were listed as full participants on Wednesday.
