Friday Report

Kliff Kingsbury said cornerback Antonio Hamilton (back) is uncertain to play Sunday after missing the last two practices.

"We'll see," the head coach said. "I think tomorrow is a big day to see if he'll be ready to go."

Kingsbury said cornerback Christian Matthew would be the starter if Hamilton doesn't play.

"He'll definitely get a lot more work and we'll just figure it out from there," Kingsbury said. "He's progressed a lot since training camp and it's excited to see if he gets that opportunity, how he handles it."

Kingsbury said offensive lineman Will Hernandez (chest) is excited to play this week after recently being designated to return from injured reserve earlier this week, and wide receiver Marquise Brown is feeling better with his illness.

"He came out today and toughed it out," Kingsbury said. "I'm hoping the next 48 hours, he'll feel better and be full-go on Sunday."

The Broncos announced Friday that quarterback Russell Wilson had passed concussion protocol, but they would not play him against the Cardinals out of caution. Brett Rypien will start instead.

Thursday Report

Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph acknowledged that cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is still dealing with a back injury, one day after head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Murphy is day to day.

"A back injury for a defensive back is tough," Joseph said. "The movement and flexibility part, the bending, sprinting, and bursting, is a problem for a corner. But he's young, so he'll be fine moving forward. He's going to be a great player for the Cardinals for a long time."

Joseph also said he hoped defensive end Zach Allen, who had hand surgery, would only miss a game or two.

Wednesday Report

Kliff Kingsbury said quarterback Kyler Murray will have surgery after Christmas to repair his torn ACL.

"We're officially going to place him on IR, and that's where it's at," the head coach said.

Defensive lineman Zach Allen (hand) had surgery on Wednesday and won't play Sunday against the Broncos. Kingsbury said he doesn't know yet if the injury will sideline him for the rest of the season.

Cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. (back) is still "working through some things," per Kingsbury.
