After not practicing all week, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will be a gametime decision on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a ribs injury, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said on Friday.
Fellow wide receiver A.J. Green isn’t too concerned with Hopkins’ status, however.
“Hop don’t miss games,” Green said Thursday. “He’ll be fine.”
Cornerback Byron Murphy returned to practice Friday in a limited fashion after missing Thursday with an ankle issue. Though officially listed as questionable, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he feels good about the cornerback heading into the weekend.
Offensive linemen Josh Miles (ankle) and Brian Winters (personal reason) have already been ruled out of the Cardinals’ Week 3 contest.
Offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum was a limited participant with a rib injury.
Left guard Justin Pugh (shoulder) was a full participant and cornerback Marco Wilson (ankle) returned to practice in a limited fashion for a second straight day.
