As if there was ever a doubt, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is good to go against the Carolina Panthers.
The wide receiver entered Sunday’s matchup as a game-time decision after dealing with an ankle issue throughout the week.
His status was questionable but looking at this career, Hopkins has missed just one game (2017) due to an injury. He even gave fantasy football players a little tease ahead of the game on Saturday.
It’s a welcome sight for the Cardinals, as the wide receiver leads the NFL in receiving yards (356) and receptions (32).
