The Arizona Cardinals released their final injury report of the week and only have one player listed as out for the game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
That would be running back Eno Benjamin. He suffered a hamstring in practice this week and was unable to practice on Friday. However, it is likely of no consequence, as he has not yet been active for a game this season.
Right tackle Kelvin Beachum was unable to practice all week and is officially questionable for the game. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that he and the other two injured linemen would be game-day decisions.
However, since he did not practice all week, which means that Josh Jones practiced all week at right tackle and not at right guard, it appears unlikely that Beachum will suit up on Sunday.
It looks a little better at guard. Both Justin Pugh and Justin Murray, both of whom have back injuries, are questionable. However, after getting no work on Wednesday and Thursday, Pugh practiced fully on Friday, while Murray was limited.
It would appear that Pugh is the most likely to play, while Murray is probably 50-50.
While the three linemen are all questionable, Beachum is unlikely to play, Pugh is closer to probable than questionable, while Murray is probably the most questionable of the three.
Receiver DeAndre Hopkins, whose rib injury kept him out of practice on Wednesday, was a full go Thursday and Friday. He has no game status, so he will be a full go in California.
