Arizona Cardinals Vs. Seattle Seahawks: Kevin Kolb Not Expected To Play In Season Finale

Kevin Kolb is listed as questionable for the Cardinals/Seahawks game due to lingering concussion issues.

The Arizona Cardinals will play their final game of the 2011-12 NFL season on Sunday when they host the Seattle Seahawks inside the friendly confines of University of Phoenix stadium. Both teams currently hold a record of 7-8, but unfortunately this game has no playoff implications attached to it. The winner of this game will be given the silver trophy in the NFC West division.

Heading into this matchup, there are a few injuries to keep an eye on. Let's see who is and who is not expected to play tomorrow after the jump.

Star-divide

Here are the final injury reports for both teams via SB Nation Arizona:

Arizona Cardinals:

OUT - T Brandon Keith (ankle)

QUESTIONABLE - S Rashad Johnson (knee), QB Kevin Kolb (head), CB Patrick Peterson (achilles), S Kerry Rhodes (ankle), RB LaRod Stephens-Howling (hamstring), RB Chris Wells (knee)

PROBABLE - CB Michael Adams (shoulder), S Sean Considine (foot)

With Keith being officially ruled out of this contest, Jeremy Bridges will likely make his fifth start of the year at right tackle. John Skelton will, once again, take the helm as the quarterback for the Cardinals tomorrow afternoon.

Kerry Rhodes injured his ankle last weekend against the Bengals in the first half, but he was able to return in that game. That said, I would be surprised if he didn't play. Both Wells and LaSH should be good to go as well.

Playing Patrick Peterson at this juncture almost seems unnecessary. He should probably sit out for this game, but being the tenacious young star that he is, he may look for any excuse to get on the field.

Seattle Seahawks:

QUESTIONABLE - T Breno Giacomini (abdomen), DT Tony Hargrove (calf)

PROBABLE - CB Kennard Cox (hamstring), LB David Hawthorne (knee), QB Tarvaris Jackson (pectoral), S Jeron Johnson (illness), DT Clinton McDonald (concussion), WRBen Obomanu (knee), LB Malcolm Smith (concussion)

The Seahawks have not officially ruled anyone out for this game, but with Giacomini being listed as questionable, there is the possibility that the Seahawks are forced to play rookie Jarriel King at tackle.

Jackson has been dealing with a torn pectoral muscle for much of the season, so he will likely play through that for one more week. David Hawthorne is also probable, which is great news for Seattle fans as he has evolved into a very skilled middle linebacker in the Seahawks' 4-3 defense.

Even though this game holds no bearing in terms of the playoff race, it is likely to be a tight contest between two division rivals. Tune in at 4:15 EST (2:15 for you fellow Arizonans) on FOX for the game.

I want us to win every gam possible

But for some reason I kind of hope we tank this game for better draft positioning. I’m sure eagles fans are hoping the same thing too with our second rounder! We’ve got a lot of holes to fill and the higher selection could only help.

Sorry folks, park's closed. Moose out front shoulda told ya.

So Kolb,

literally missed half the season, and some people were actually thinking Franchise, LoL

I'm not sure anyone called Kolb a franchise QB

I think mostly it is that he and Skelton are both showing a lot of potential, and Kolb’s potential and ceiling is every bit as high as Skelton’s. Kolb is more consistent, and I’m confident will continue to improve, especially with a full offseason under his belt. Skelton made nice improvements in his 2nd year in this system, no reason to think Kolb won’t do the same. Kolb in season progression was under display in the Dallas game. Skelton looked up and down in each game, and benefitted from a defense that was finally coming together after no offseason.
It will definitely be interesting to see how the 2 progress next season and who comes out of training camp with the starting role.

We all bleed Cardinal Red, but most of us don't recognize it!

Patrick Peterson is the 2nd coming of Deion Sanders. They even wear the same number.

Since when does missing time from an injury not make you franchise qb eligible?

I am not sold on kolb yet and am not saying he is going to be the franchise qb but he may be so and missing time due to injury doesnt mean he doesnt have the talent to be one. I mean they are franchise qbs not superhumans who never get hurt. Did you give up on tomm brady being a franchise qb when he hurt his leg and missed the whole season? sam bradford missed time due to injury hurry go tell the rams its time to ship him out before they waste more time. I understand you dont like kolb but man you let your hate for him blind your judgement sometimes.
