As Arizona Cardinals quarterback Drew Stanton nurses a knee injury, it’s unclear whether Blaine Gabbert will start against the Texans this week.
On Wednesday, head coach Bruce Arians told reporters that Stanton has made progress in practice since spraining his knee in Thursday’s game against the Seahawks. There was no announcement on whether Stanton would be ruled out against Houston, though 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station’s Mike Jurecki reported that Gabbert will start.
Stanton also spoke to the media on Wednesday.
“I feel good,” he said. “I feel really good. I think we’ve got a plan in place with our training staff and just trying to trend in the right direction, and that’s been the case the past couple of days.
“Both days have been successful thus far. It’s just one of those things where I don’t know when it’s going to start feeling better but I don’t want to push it too hard.”
Stanton added that if he’s not ready to go by Sunday, “Blaine will go out there and do a good job.”
PETERS SPRAINS ANKLE
Arians did give a more definitive update on another ailing player, defensive tackle Corey Peters. He said the 29-year-old Peters, who has started all nine of the Cardinals’ games this year, has a high ankle sprain and could be out a while.
