The Arizona Cardinals will be down their top three cornerbacks Sunday against the Denver Broncos, as Antonio Hamilton, Marco Wilson and Byron Murphy Jr. landed on the inactives list before kickoff.
Murphy Jr. was already ruled out for a back injury that has kept him sidelined since Week 9. Hamilton and Wilson were questionable entering Sunday.
Wilson (neck) was listed as limited in practice all week — including on Wednesday’s estimated injury report — while Hamilton (back) did not participate on Thursday and Friday.
Arizona’s cornerback depth is down to rookie Christian Matthew, Jace Whittaker and practice squad elevation Nate Hairston.
