The Cardinals' ever-churning offensive line will have a new left tackle against the Raiders, because D.J. Humphries is inactive for the game because of his knee issue. That will mean rookie Korey Cunningham will be up as a starter. Cunningham has been active for only one game -- last week -- and he didn't play a snap. The Cardinals do have Mike Iupati ready at left guard, but at right guard is Oday Aboushi, who filled in for the injured Justin Pugh last week. Rookie Zack Golditch, who has been best known for his story as an Aurora shooting survivor, is the reserve tackle active.
The Cardinals will also have a new kicker against the Raiders, an outcome not unexpected after the team signed Matt McCrane Saturday. McCrane will handle kicking duties with Phil Dawson inactive because of a hip injury. McCrane, who was with the Cards in the preseason, will kick against his former team -- he was the Raiders' kicker for three games earlier this season, making 5-of-9 field-goal attempts.
The full inactives list for the Cardinals:
-- K Phil Dawson (hip)
-- WR Chad Williams (ankle)
-- S Rudy Ford (heel)
-- S Budda Baker (knee)
-- T D.J. Humphries (knee)
-- OL Colby Gossett
-- DT Robert Nkemdiche (calf)
