Arizona Cardinals Injury Report: With 3 Stars Questionable, Cardinals Host the Spanked Giants at State Farm

The Cardinals are heading for the action in Week 2. The squad, led by Jonathan Gannon, is gearing up for their home opener at the State Farm Stadium this coming Sunday, where they will lock horns with the New York Giants. The Giants themselves are coming off an embarrassing defeat against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, losing 40-0.

The Cardinals haven’t had the best luck in home showdowns, having lost 13 of their last 14 home games dating back to the 2021 season. Over the past two years, they’ve only managed to nab four wins in Glendale. However, with a fresh season comes fresh hopes.

The Arizona Cardinals dropped their injury report

Ahead of the home opener, the Cardinals have released the injury report for the second week. As per the report, two players were absent from practice, while three were limited. Defensive end L.J. Collier (biceps) and linebacker Josh Woods (ankle) missed practice for the second consecutive day. If Woods can’t make it to the opener, Krys Barnes is expected to take his place. As for Collier, Carlos Watkins will step into his shoes in the starting lineup.

The limited players include offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum, running back James Conner, and defensive lineman Leki Fotu. Leki Fotu, the defensive lineman, and running back James Conner were placed as limited participants, after sustaining injuries. Kelvin Beachum missed practice with a hand injury, which also kept him out of the Week 1 match.

Uncertainty surrounding two starters in the Giants base

New York Giants too have released their injury report for Week 2. According to the report, two starters did not participate in the practice session on Wednesday. The Offensive lineman Andrew Thomas missed practice after sustaining a hamstring injury during the Sunday match against the Cowboys. While the injury is far from serious, there is uncertainty about his presence in the showdown against the Cardinals.

Darren Waller, who is recovering from a hamstring injury, also sat out practice. There is also haze surrounding whether Waller will be fit to take the field for the upcoming match.
