Christian Kirk, Jordan Phillips miss practice on Wednesday with injuries

The Arizona Cardinals began their week of practice on Wednesday getting ready for their Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. They released the first injury report of the week and had a couple of new injuries pop up that kept players out of practice.

Receivers Larry Fitzgerald and DeAndre Hopkins did not practice but that was their typical rest day.

Center Mason Cole, who missed all last week and did not play in Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury he suffered in the season opener, did not practice on Wednesday.

Two other starters did not practice. Receiver Christian Kirk sat out with a groin injury and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips sat out with an ankle injury.

Kirk suffered some tightness in Sunday’s game but fought through it.

We will see if they are able to practice Thursday and Friday.

Cornerback Byron Murphy was limited with a shoulder injury and safety Budda Baker appeared on the injury report with a thumb injury but was a full participant.

  • OL Mason Cole (hamstring)
  • WR Larry Fitzgerald (day off)
  • WR DeAndre Hopkins (day off)
  • WR Chirstian Kirk (groin)
  • DL Jordan Phillips (ankle)

Limited:
