_InjuryReport_16x9 (1)

FRIDAY REPORT

The hits keep on coming to the Cardinals defense on the injury front. A lingering neck injury will force cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting to be out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Cornerbacks Starling Thomas V and Max Melton, who has been on the injury report with his own neck injury, will have to fill the void and try to limit Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Defensive lineman Roy Lopez (ankle) will join Murphy-Bunting on the inactives list, giving Naquan Jones and Khyiris Tonga more opportunities to see playing time.

"They've been doing a good job," coach Jonathan Gannon said. "They play the right way. I think they're all improving their techniques, play making, winning one-on-ones in the rush. They're doing a good job."

Gannon also mentioned that the team will not activate Darius Robinson to the 53-man roster for Sunday's game.

Right tackle Kelvin Beachum was listed as a full participant at Friday's practice. This comes after he was limited during Wednesday's walkthrough and missed Thursday's practice with a groin injury. He is the only player that's questionable for Sunday's game.

Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. appeared on the injury report for the first time on Friday with a knee issue, but will be good to go.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa cleared concussion protocol and will start this weekend. Hill, who appeared on the injury report on Thursday with a foot injury, did not practice on Friday and is questionable. Defensive tackle Zach Sieler injured his eye during Thursday's practice and will not play.

THURSDAY REPORT

Right tackle Kelvin Beachum has been stretching with the team and then rehab his lingering hamstring with trainers on the side with recent Wednesday work, but this week, the injury is listed as a groin and after estimated limited work on Wednesday, he was downgraded to DNP on Thursday.

Thursday's practice designations were very similar to what was estimated after Wednesday's walkthrough. Cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting (neck), defensive lineman Roy Lopez (ankle) and Darius Robinson (NIR-personal/calf) did not practice.

After missing Monday's game, Owen Pappoe (hip) is back on the grass. He and cornerback Max Melton (neck) were limited participants. Offensive tackle Christian Jones missed Wednesday's walkthrough, but returned to practice in full.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday and is trending towards getting the start this weekend.

WEDNESDAY REPORT

Only 48 hours removed from their win on Monday night, the Cardinals held a walkthrough on Wednesday afternoon. The injury report is an estimation, since the team didn't practice.

Cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting exited Monday's game with a lingering neck injury. He was listed as a DNP. The other players that were listed as DNPs were defensive lineman Roy Lopez (ankle), Darius Robinson (calf/NIR-personal) and offensive tackle Christian Jones (NIR-personal).

Coach Jonathan Gannon said that the team is preparing to ramp up Robinson, who is currently day to day. The Cardinals have to activate Robinson to the 53-man roster by next Wednesday.

Until linebacker Dennis Gardeck is placed on injured reserve, after tearing his ACL on Monday night, he'll be listed on the injury report.

Linebacker Owen Pappoe was limited with a hip injury. Right tackle Kelvin Beachum (groin) and cornerback Max Melton (neck) were also limited.

Miami welcomed back quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to the practice field on Wednesday. If the Dolphins give Tagovailoa the start on Sunday, they'll need to activate him to the 53-man roster by Saturday.
