TE Troy Niklas, RG Earl Watford return for Cardinals in Week 17

Looking to close out 2017 on a high note, the Arizona Cardinals will have two familiar faces back on the field in the regular-season finale in Seattle.

Both tight end Troy Niklas and right guard Earl Watford are active after missing time with ankle injuries. Niklas did not play last week while Watford has not played since Dec. 10.

Running backs Kerwynn Williams (quad/rips/back) and Elijhaa Penny (hand/groin) are also good to go despite being limited in practice and listed questionable on Friday’s injury report.

The news is not as good for linebacker Josh Bynes. He will sit this one out, which is not a surprise given he did not practice all week because of an ankle injury.

The remaining inactives are quarterback Matt Barkley, tight end Gabe Holmes, linebacker Edmond Robinson, offensive lineman Max Tuerk, wide receiver Chad Williams and defensive lineman Xavier Williams.

For the Seahawks, linebacker D.J. Alexander (concussion) and tight end Nick Vannett (back) are out due to injury and among the listed inactives.

The others not in uniform for Seattle are offensive lineman Joey Hunt, defensive end Quinton Jefferson, running back Eddie Lacy, wide receiver Tanner McEvoy and cornerback Mike Tyson.
