With veteran safety Jalen Thompson dealing with an ankle injury suffered at practice this week, the Cardinals elevated cornerback Divaad Wilson from the practice squad on Saturday for Sunday's home game against the Jets.
It is Wilson's second of three potential elevations.
Thompson was officially listed as questionable for the game, but he did not practice Friday. Rookie Rabbit Taylor-Demerson is expected fill in, although the Cardinals have options. Slot cornerback Garrett Williams can play some safety, and the Cardinals also have Sean Murphy-Bunting back from a neck injury as well as cornerbacks Max Melton and Starling Thomas V.
Wilson is expected to take snaps on special teams as the others up their defensive workload.
ROOF TO BE OPEN
The roof at State Farm Stadium is expected to be open for Sunday's game against the Jets barring a weather change. The high temperature is expected to be 80 degrees.
BLOUNT FINED
Cardinals special teams ace Joey Blount was fined $16,883 for an unnecessary roughness penalty (facemask) in the first quarter against the Bears last week. Blount was not flagged on the play.
