Despite dealing with a hamstring injury, Arizona Cardinals star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is officially a go for tonight’s showdown with the Green Bay Packers.
Arizona put out its inactives list moments ago, and Hopkins, who was listed as questionable all week, was not on it. This comes after multiple reports indicated the three-time All-Pro would be able to play.
Hopkins has started all seven games this season for the 7-0 Cardinals, hauling in 33 receptions for 420 yards and seven touchdowns.

While Arizona will have Hopkins available tonight, the Packers will be quite shorthanded at wideout. Davante Adams did not make the trip due to being on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and Allen Lazard is also out because he was a close contact of Adams’.
Additionally, Marquez Valdes-Scantling has not been activated from injured reserve yet. As a result, Green Bay promoted Juwann Winfree from the practice squad and activated Malik Taylor from the Reserve/COVID-19 list for tonight’s game.
The Cardinals and Packers will kick off shortly at 8:20 p.m. ET on FOX and NFL Network.
