It's almost time for kickoff between the Arizona Cardinals and the Baltimore Ravens back east in Maryland. With the birds coming off a loss, team health is in question as the Cards inactive report contains three starters sidelined by the injury bug.

Hit the jump to find out who won't suit up today.

Sitting for the Cards this game are:

FS Kerry Rhodes
TE Todd Heap
QB Richard Bartel
WR Stephen Williams
OT D'Anthony Batiste
OLB Joey Porter
DE Ronald Talley

With Heap still hurting, (It feels like I've written this every week about Todd Heap) expect to see the King, Housler rotation again. Jim Dray adds to that depth coming off the inactive list. I'm sure Heap would have loved to be on the field this game against his former team. Kerry Rhodes still sits after breaking his foot. Joey Porter sits, being replaced in the lineup by Sam Acho. Keep you eyes on Acho, and whether or not O'Brien Schofield gets on the field.

The good news is that Beanie Wells injury from last week appears to be past history.

Here are the Ravens' inactive players:

RB Anthony Allen
WR Lee Evans
G Ben Grubbs
ILB Dannell Ellerbe
OLB Sergio Kindle
CB Danny Gorrer
CB Chykie Brown

The Ravens' will be missing the play of Ben Grubbs at LG today, being replaced by Andre Gurode. Aside from that the inactives on the Ravens' side appear to be depth.

Are you ready for some football? Go Cardinals!

Damn, I was hoping he would be able to go and get a TD

Looking forward to Acho, Horton does call him a brilliant player (and not just smart guy version of brilliant) and the radio guys said he was one of the first guys to grasp Horton’s defense really well. Hope his increased athleticism over Porter along with his football smarts could make a difference.
