Arizona Cardinals vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: Injury Report

The Arizona Cardinals injury list has grown considerably since last week and as of today it includes nine players including four who didn't participate in yesterday's practice. Reggie Wells, Chike Okeafor, Matt Ware and Kenny Iwebema joined Sean Morey, Brian St. Pierre, Steve Breaston, Anquan Boldin and Early Doucet on the report with Okeafor, Breaston, Ware and Iwebema sitting out of the entire practice. Everyone else at least participated in some portion of practice. As of today, Iwebema is the only player who is expected to miss Sunday's game against Jacksonville. Boldin admitted that he's still not 100% but did say that he feels much better than last week and did more in practice than he has in three weeks. Ken Whisenhunt said that they will be very cautious with Breaston this week in hopes that some time off will allow him to play on Sunday.

For the Jaguars, Zach Miller (TE) and Brian Witherspoon (CB) both missed practice. Miller, and this isn't the tight end from Oakland, is a rookie tight end who's making the transition from college quarterback. He's buried on the depth chart and most likely wouldn't have an impact even if he played. Witherspoon is listed as a corner but he's basically a return specialist, and a pretty good one. He averaged over eleven yards per punt return last year as a rookie and 24 yards per kick return.

Update (hat tip to Jeff): We should also mention that the Jaguars most significant injury in the past week was to defensive end and pass rush specialist, Reggie Hayward. He broke his leg against the Colts has already been placed on IR. The 30 year old has 39.5 sacks over the course of his career but has struggled to stay healthy over the past several seasons. It's unknown who will fill the void although Quentin Groves, James Wyche or rookie Julius Williams are in the mix or the team could decide to run more 3-4 schemes. Groves, a second round pick in 2008, is officially listed as a linebacker on their depth chart and has been a disappointment so far as a pro. Neither Wyche or Williams have appeared in an NFL game before.

Not mentioned in the above piece – Biggest setback for the Jags figures to be the season-ending injury to their best pass rusher, Reggie Hayward. If KW has more time to figure things out behind the LOS this week, he may be better able to shred the Jax secondary.

Get healthy Breaston

We need that speed to stretch the field. I’m all for leaving Rolle and LSH as the returners until Breaston is completely healthy though.

Whatever Chike’s injury is, he needs to get healthy to. We can’t afford to lose an OLB.

James Wyche was waived

UDFA rokie Jeremy Navarre is on the active roster.
And a quick note on Miller. If he is healthy, the Jags think he can be this team’s Dallas Clark, or Owen daniels, so he wouldbe someone to watch, if he would be healthy…

Will Breaston and Boldin play on Sunday?

I'd say Boldin will definitely play and Breaston is questionable (I'd say 50/50).

The thing about Boldin is how much he plays. He only took about half the snaps last week but didn’t re-injure his groin. He’s been limited all week but says that he feels better than last week. Missing practice and performing on Sundays is nothing new for this guy.
