The Arizona Cardinals released their second injury report of the week and it appears they could be without receiver Christian Kirk when they take on the Detroit Lions this weekend. Kirk was one of two players who did not practice for the second day in a row.
Kirk, who injured his groin in the team’s win on Sunday, does not appear that he will be able to play on Sunday, which means more opportunities for KeeSean Johnson, recently activated off the COVID-19 list.
Center Mason Cole missed practice as well, as he continues to recover from his hamstring injury. It would appear that Lamont Gaillard will make his second straight start on Sunday.
Defensive lineman Jordan Phillips was upgraded. He did not participate on Wednesday with an ankle injury but was limited on Thursday.
Cornerback Byron Murphy was limited on Wednesday with a shoulder injury. He participated fully on Thursday.
Receivers Larry Fitzgerald and DeAndre Hopkins returned fully to practice on Thursday after a day off.
Did not practice:
- C Mason Cole (hamstring)
- WR Christian Kirk (groin)
Limited:
- DL Jordan Phillips (ankle)
Full:
- S Budda Baker (thumb)
- CB Byron Murphy (shoulder)
- WR Larry Fitzgerald (no injury)
