FRIDAY REPORT

The Cardinals offensive attack will look a bit different against the Commanders on Sunday. Tight end Trey McBride, who has been in concussion protocol since last Sunday's outing, will not play this weekend.

Without McBride in the huddle, the Cardinals will have to lean on tight ends Elijah Higgins, Tip Reiman, and Travis Vokolek.

"That's a strong room, a really good room," coach Jonathan Gannon said. "Their roles are going to change a little bit, all three of them, without Trey. But I'm very comfortable and confident. "

Defensively the Cardinals will also be without defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga, Gannon said. Tonga suffered a knee injury during the game against the Lions and did not practice throughout the week.

Gannon said there were "no worries" for wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and safety Budda Baker, both of whom have been on the injury report this week.

After missing last weekend's game, offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum (hamstring) is questionable, as is Isaiah Adams who appeared on the injury report on Friday as a limited participant with a thumb injury.

Austin Ekeler (concussion) and Clelin Ferrell (knee) were declared out earlier in the week. Jamison Crowder's calf injury will also sideline him for Sunday's game.

THURSDAY REPORT

For the second consecutive practice, tight end Trey McBride and defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga did not participate with the team. McBride, who collided with Lions safety Brian Branch on a play, remains in concussion protocol. McBride's game status, along with all of the other players on the injury report, will be revealed on Friday.

Without Tonga (knee) and Justin Jones, who suffered a season-ending triceps injury against the Lions, the Cardinals brought back Naquan Jones. He has experience in the Cardinals system at nose tackle, the same position Tonga plays.

At right tackle, Kelvin Beachum continues to trend in the right direction, practicing in a limited capacity for another practice. He's one of five players that were limited on Thursday. Safety Budda Baker and wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., both dealing with a quadriceps injury, were at practice. Baker, linebacker Dennis Gardeck, and defensive lineman Dante Stills were upgraded from limited to full.

Commanders tight end Zach Ertz returned to practice after having a rest day on Wednesday. Jamison Crowder (calf) did not practice for the second day in a row.

WEDNESDAY REPORT

The physicality stemming from the Lions game over the weekend had some lingering effects on Wednesday's injury report as the Cardinals look ahead to Week 4 versus the Commanders.

Right tackle Kelvin Beachum returned to practice after being inactive on Sunday with a hamstring injury. If he can play, it'll be a major boost to the offensive line while Jonah Williams remains on IR.

A handful of notable players were limited on Wednesday, including wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and safety Budda Baker. Both are nursing a quadriceps injury. Defensive lineman Dante Stills (shoulder) and linebacker Dennis Gardeck (finger) were also limited on Wednesday.

Trey McBride remains in concussion protocol, forcing the Cardinals tight end to miss practice. Defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga also was banged up against the Lions, hurting his knee on a play.

The injuries from Sunday's game made an impact on the roster. Jackson Barton, who stepped up in Beachum's absence and played pretty well, was placed on the practice squad injured reserve list after he left Sunday's game early with a toe injury. Austen Pleasants was re-signed to the practice squad. He spent time with the Cardinals during the preseason. Defensive lineman Justin Jones also went on IR earlier Wednesday.

On a short week after playing on Monday night, the Commanders are already in town and practicing at Arizona State. On their injury report, tight end Zach Ertz was given a rest day and did not practice. Running back Austin Ekeler, also in concussion protocol, and Clelin Ferrell did not make the trip with the team to Arizona and will not play Sunday.
