The Arizona Cardinals ruled wide receiver Marquise Brown questionable to return in the third quarter against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at State Farm Stadium due to his heel injury.
He did not return to the game.
Brown was questionable to play on Sunday due to a heel issue that kept him out or limited in practice this past week. The receiver also did not practice in Week 13 before Arizona’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to the heel, and he only played a season-low 53% of offensive snaps entering the bye.
He did not record a catch or a target in the first half at State Farm Stadium.
