Cardinals’ Walter Nolen III, Max Melton active vs. 49ers

GLENDALE — Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Walter Nolen III and cornerback Max Melton are officially active for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Nolen was a limited participant throughout practice due to a knee injury suffered in last week’s loss to Seattle.

Melton, meanwhile, was limited for most of the week of work as he went through concussion protocol before logging a full day on Friday.

Additionally, offensive lineman Will Hernandez, Kelvin Beachum, BJ Ojulari, Darius Robinson and Bam Knight are good to go against San Francisco.

Arizona will need all hands on deck this weekend with plenty of starters already ruled out ahead of Sunday.

They include wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., cornerback Will Johnson, Dadrion “Rabbit” Taylor-Demerson, offensive lineman Jonah Williams and linebacker Mack Wilson Sr.

Rookie offensive lineman Hayden Conner is out after getting his practice window opened this week.

Joining those on Arizona’s inactive list are offensive lineman Demontrey Jacobs and defensive lineman Bilal Nichols.
