The Arizona Cardinals are banged up going into their Week 7 game against the Denver Broncos, as their past two first-round picks — running back Jeremiyah Love and defensive lineman Walter Nolen III — are out with ankle issues.
Veteran safety Budda Baker (groin/illness) is questionable after a big performance against the Los Angeles Rams in which he collected a sack, two tackles for loss and a pass defensed.
The Cardinals’ defense could be pressed for depth, as cornerback Max Melton (knee) and defensive lineman Darius Robinson (back) are both questionable, while safety Andrew Wingard (knee) remains out. Head coach Mike LaFleur sounded encouraged on Friday that Baker, Melton and Robinson could play on Sunday.
Darius Robinson, Budda Baker and Garrett Williams were all practicing Friday.

Good post Dary!
Not a bust, but it's hard to be a top guy on a bad team. And make no bones about it, this is a bad team. Before anyone goes all Rams, RAMS, Rams, one question and one statement. Did Cards win that game or did the Rams lose it? Six field goals.
Cards are still going 4-13 or 5-12. Starting a 7th rook at left tackle, 2nd string RG, guys off the squad getting snaps at safety, DL's sitting cuz they are nicked. Only 6 games in and the roster already is a MASH unit and the bodies aren't there on the 53. And that is on Monti. Enough of the talk about MJH as a bust, or Love (He's not) or Nolan or Robinson, the real bust is the hire on the GM. He puts the bodies on the roster, drafts the depth and scours the wire for guys. Monti is the bust and needs to go. The only thing he has going for him is that Lil Mikey has tied his hands in terms of fiscal resources (Leaving dollars on the CAP and not allowing high $$ FAs). organizationally- thin front office, support resources,and control- who do you think hired Le Flower? Not Monti.
Time Lil Mikey to wring his little hands and bring a big boy, someone that costs money and has complete organizational control. The Bidwill way is the losing way, proven decade over decade. Maybe not on the bottom line, but on the field. And that's all the fans should care about. Win and they will come, fans and players. Continue the perennial losing, and watch State Farm continue to be the best road venue in the league.
