Friday Report

Practices -- and injury reports -- are done for the 2022 season.

The Cardinals won't have running back James Conner Sunday with his knee and shin injuries. He'll be replaced with a combination of Corey Clement and Keaontay Ingram.

"We'll get both guys going," coach Kliff Kingsbury said. "I thought Corey did a nice job last week. He picked up the system quick."

Linebacker Zaven Collins (calf) is "not trending the right way" to play, Kingsbury said, and Collins will not play. Neither will cornerbacks Antonio Hamilton or Marco Wilson.

J.J. Watt said his injured groin was no big deal and shouldn't impact him Sunday.

Thursday Report

While the focus this week has been on the players who might or might not play for the Cardinals on offense on Sunday, there remain defensive players in question too.

It's unlikely defensive end Zach Allen (hand) is going to return for the final game, although there is some desire to be able to play with friend and retiring teammate J.J. Watt. Cornerback Antonio Hamilton (hip) also may not return, although there is still a possibility fellow cornerback Marco Wilson could play.

"This week is going to be a different challenge as far as getting Deebo (Samuel) covered in the slot and in the backfield, and getting (George) Kittle covered and CMC covered," defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said. "Those (cornerback) kids will compete, and we'll do our best to cover them up when it is passing downs."

Linebacker Zaven Collins (calf) also missed his second day of practice Thursday.

Wednesday Report

It is the end of a long and disappointing season, and an offense that felt it had so much promise once upon a time might not have many of its pieces in Sunday's finale against the 49ers.

Wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (knee) will not play, and wideout Robbie Anderson (back) and running back James Conner (knee/shin) also are in question.

Hopkins missed the Atlanta game as well. Coach Kliff Kingsbury said it would've been close for Hopkins to play had the Cardinals been playing a meaningful game, but the knee is "something that's been nagging him. We're just going to be cautious."

With Hopkins and Anderson ailing, the Cardinals signed wide receivers Auden Tate and Isaiah Coulter to the practice squad. They also cut offensive lineman Koda Martin from the practice squad. The good news? Kingsbury said wide receiver Hollywood Brown, who hurt his wrist in Atlanta, was OK and would play Sunday.

Ten players did not practice.

The 49ers injury report will be released later on Wednesday.
