The Arizona Cardinals have ruled out cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting and defensive lineman Roy Lopez ahead of their Week 8 game against the Miami Dolphins, head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters on Friday.

Additionally, rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson won’t be activated off of injured reserve this week as he continues to work through his calf issue and personal reasons.

Linebacker Owen Pappoe, meanwhile, returned to practice as a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday after missing Monday’s win against the Los Angeles Chargers with a hip issue. Rookie cornerback Max Melton initially showed up on the report as a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday with a neck problem.

Both Pappoe and Melton practiced in full on Friday and are expected to play on Sunday.

On the other side, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since Week 2 after a concussion put him on injured reserve. He suffered two concussions in 2022.

Tagovailoa was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday. He’s expected to play after clearing concussion protocol.

Miami’s offense ranks dead last in the league with 11.7 points per game after it scored the second most points in the NFL last year (29.2 points per game). Tagovailoa was limited on Wednesday and progressed through the concussion protocol.

His top two targets are dealing with injuries, though. Jaylen Waddle was limited with a quad issue on both Wednesday and Thursday, while Tyreek Hill showed up on Thursday’s injury report as limited with a foot problem. Hill did not practice at all on Friday and was deemed questionable for Sunday.
