Cardinals-Rams inactives: Darius Robinson, Myles Garrett good to go

GLENDALE — The pregame inactives list brought fortunate news for both defenses of the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams ahead of Sunday’s NFC West matchup at State Farm Stadium.

For the Cardinals, defensive lineman Darius Robinson, cornerback Max Melton, safety Andrew Wingard and defensive lineman Roy Lopez are available after getting designated as questionable on the latest injury report.

Robinson missed Thursday’s practice with a wrist issue but returned on Friday. He produced two quarterback hits when the Cardinals won their Week 6 matchup against the Rams, 18-16.

Lopez was taken to the locker room last week in Seattle with a toe injury but was back on the practice field on Friday, as well.

Left tackle Jayden Williams, however, will not play on Sunday after he was deemed questionable with a knee injury. He missed last week’s game with third-string left tackle Josh Fryar getting the start.

Arizona is also down to its third-string center, with Hjalte Froholdt and Jon Gaines II out. Hayden Conner will deliver the snaps to rookie quarterback Carson Beck.

For the Rams, pass rusher Myles Garrett is good to go, which was expected after he played last week and recorded three sacks against the Washington Commanders. The two-time Defensive Player of the Year had not played since Week 1 due to a knee injury but made a loud return, pairing up with decorated defensive lineman Aaron Donald for the first time.

All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie was the bigger question mark coming into Sunday due to a back injury, and he will play.

L.A.’s offense is the more banged up unit with top two receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams on injured reserve.
