Arizona In Week 12 versus the Seattle Seahawks, the Arizona Cardinals made public their official list of inactives.
Xavier Weaver, Christian Jones, Travis Vokolek, Julian Okwara, Jalen Thompson, and Darius Robinson are among the players Arizona will not have today.
Jonah Williams, Xavier Thomas, and Max Melton—all dubious players—are available.
For the second straight game, Thompson was sidelined on Friday due to an ankle issue. Budda Baker will probably give Dadrion Taylor-Demerson the all-clear at safety.
Security The team’s only activation from the practice squad this weekend was Andre Chachere.
Despite being a late addition to the Cardinals’ injury report this morning as questionable, Melton was thought to be fine after Friday after dealing with illness earlier in the week. As a rookie second-round selection, he has participated in 57% of Arizona’s defensive snaps.
Williams was doubtful going into the weekend and hasn’t played since sustaining a knee injury in Week 1. Although NFL source Ian Rapoport stated earlier this morning that Williams was anticipated to participate, Kelvin Beachum has filled in at right tackle during his absence.
We sort of consider every factor before determining what we believe will benefit the squad in that particular game. We will go day by day. The good news is that I believe several different men have performed. Regarding his offensive line play, Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon stated, “A lot of different guys have played different spots, and they’ve played with each other quite a bit now.”
“We will continue to play at a high level and ensure that the communication and operation are on track. The offensive line is performing incredibly.
All Cardinals supporters have been anticipating Robinson’s debut since he sustained a calf injury during preseason action. The first-round selection will now have to wait an additional week.
Thomas has contributed significantly to making quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers and Caleb Williams uncomfortable from beginning to end with his 2.5 sacks and forced fumble in his last two games.
Gannon is aware that the atmosphere at Lumen Field, which is renowned for having loud crowds, will be intimidating.
It’s noisy. It goes without saying that many road games are noisy. Yes, the atmosphere is favorable. They do a great job there, and it’s electric. On the lake, right up. “It’s a pretty cool atmosphere,” Gannon remarked.
“The noise level is real, but I always like playing there. Knowing your opponent, the surroundings, and what we need to do to play successful football on offense are some of the things we have to deal with because it makes it difficult in certain ways.
