FRIDAY REPORT

Jalen Thompson, nursing a toe injury, returned to practice on Friday after missing two days and has a chance to play Sunday in Las Vegas.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Thompson would be a game-day decision, one of a handful of players who will be in such a situation.

The hope is defensive end J.J. Watt (calf), cornerback Trayvon Mullen (toe), and left guard Justin Pugh (neck) will be able to play as well. 

Kingsbury said Max Garcia is the replacement option if Pugh can't go. Last week Sean Harlow stood in for Pugh in the Week 1 season opener against the Chiefs, but Kingsbury said Harlow would return to backup center. 

"Max, having been here last year and being very familiar with what we do and our scheme, he's picked the game plan up quick," Kingsbury said. "So he would step in and be the backup."

Kingsbury ruled wide receivers Rondale Moore (hamstring) and Andy Isabella (back) won't be available on Sunday.

The official injury report will be out later today.

THURSDAY REPORT

Defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) could make his 2022 debut this Sunday against the Raiders.

Watt missed the Cardinals' Week 1 home opener against the Chiefs but is trending in the right direction to play in Week 2. Watt said he was "hopeful" to play.

"He's close and practicing," defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said. "J.J. wants to play every game and snap, so we have to be careful with him and make sure he's ready to play."

Guard Justin Pugh (neck) said he was optimistic he would be able to play against the Raiders as well.

Joseph said cornerback Trayvon Mullen (toe) looked good in practice on Wednesday, but he's not quite there yet in his recovery. Safety Jalen Thompson continues to deal with a toe injury, forcing him to miss the last two days of practice. Joseph said at this point, he isn't sure about his status for Sunday.

"When you miss two days, it's always tough to come back and play at full speed on Sunday," Joseph said. "We'll see about him tomorrow."

WEDNESDAY REPORT

The Cardinals continue to deal with injuries heading into Week 2, a looming matchup with the Raiders.

Kliff Kingsbury used the "we'll see" response regarding defensive lineman J.J. Watt (calf) and his status for Sunday. Kingsbury said it's too early in the week to know, adding he doesn't have much of an update.

The same deal goes for wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) and cornerbacks Marco Wilson (leg) and Trayvon Mullen (toe).

"Marco did some stuff today, so that's promising," Kingsbury said. "Rondale, we'll see how the week progresses. Trayvon was out there today and didn't do much. We'll see how he feels later on."

Safety Jalen Thompson is dealing with a toe issue, and wide receiver Andy Isabella is working through a back issue, according to Kingsbury.

Right tackle Kelvin Beachum and Center Rodney Hudson had "vet days" on Wednesday. Left guard Justin Pugh (neck) is day to day.

"He's getting better," Kingsbury said," but I'm not sure he'll be all the way there by Sunday."
