The Arizona Cardinals will be without two of their key pieces on offense in quarterback Kyler Murray and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins when they take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 10.
It marks the second consecutive game both Murray (ankle) and Hopkins (hamstring) have missed.
Murray was seen pregame throwing passes but it apparently wasn’t enough for the QB to get the green light.

Other Cardinals inactives include running back Jonathan Ward (concussion), safety James Wiggins (knee), and offensive linemen Justin Pugh (calf) and Max Garcia (Achilles). Wide receiver Andy Isabella is a healthy scratch for Sunday.
