The Arizona Cardinals have a number of players listed as questionable on their final injury report of the week. Three of those players, key to the offense and the defense, are expected to play Sunday afternoon against the Carolina Panthers.
Buy Cardinals TicketsAccording to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, receivers Rondale Moore and Marquise Brown and defensive lineman J.J. Watt are all expected to play.
Moore will make his 2022 debut after missing the first three weeks with a hamstring injury. He was limited in practice all week and head coach Kliff Kingsbury would not commit to whether Moore would play, saying that he would have to see him move around on Sunday. But Moore sounded like a player who planned on suiting up and playing when he spoke with reporters this week.
Brown appeared on the injury report on Friday with a foot injury that has him listed as questionable for the game. He is expected to play. He is coming off his most productive game in his career. He had 14 receptions for 140 in the Cardinals’ 20-12 loss in Week 3 to the Los Angeles Rams.
Watt missed the season opener with a calf injury and played the last two games, picking up the team’s only two sacks this season. He did not practice Wednesday or Thursday and was limited on Friday. He also is expected to play.
Kicker Matt Prater is also listed as questionable with a hip injury but fans should not be concerned. The Cardinals did not sign another kicker and didn’t even bring one in for a workout. Prater will kick.
