Friday Report
Colt McCoy is supposed to start at quarterback Sunday for the Cardinals, but it'll be David Blough now that McCoy had more concussion symptoms.
Running back James Conner returned from an illness, but wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins also now is a question. Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Hopkins was having some knee issues Friday.
"We'll see how he feels (Saturday) and go from there," Kingsbury said.
Cornerbacks Antonio Hamilton (hip) won't play, and Marco Wilson (neck) will be evaluated on Saturday as well, Kingsbury said.
Thursday Report
The Cardinals aren't sure what their cornerback situation will be again this week. Antonio Hamilton (hip) and Marco Wilson (neck) remain banged up. Wilson is coming off a two-interception game, but left against the Bucs after aggravating his neck issue.
"His health is most important to us," defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said, and that Wilson has to be right to be active.
Joseph said he wasn't sure if defensive lineman Zach Allen will return this season. Allen still isn't practicing after having hand surgery, and it seems unlikely the Cardinals would bring him back for the last game of the year in San Francisco.
Safety Budda Baker, who went on IR this week with a fractured shoulder, will need about three months to heal, Joseph said. A combination of Isaiah Simmons and Chris Banjo will fill Baker's spot, although Joseph emphasized the Cardinals have to get their best players on the field, and Simmons could be needed at cornerback too depending on the status of Wilson and Hamilton.
Wednesday Report
Colt McCoy has cleared the concussion protocol and will start at quarterback for the Cardinals Sunday against the Falcons.
The possibility was there to shut McCoy down and stick with Trace McSorley as started, but coach Kliff Kingsbury had said he wanted to give McCoy a chance to finish the season with some positive play and McCoy made it clear to the team he wanted back on the field.
"We had some meetings (Tuesday) and I just said, 'Kyler can't play and you brought me here to play. I want to finish the season strong,' " McCoy said. "That all hinged on getting cleared and going through the whole concussion protocol and the doctors did a fantastic job. I was fighting to play last week but they weren't having it.
"I'm fully cleared and excited about getting another opportunity."
Kingsbury praised tackle Kelvin Beachum for playing last week despite knee and ankle issues, but said his status this week will hinge on how the veteran feels on Friday before the game. Kingsbury also said that despite center Billy Price (knee) getting hurt against the Bucs, he was also expected to be available this week.
