It's almost time for kickoff between the Arizona Cardinals and the St. Louis Rams here at UOP stadium in suddenly chilly Arizona. At a combined two and twelve record both teams limp into this game. Kevin Kolb hasn't practiced all week. Beanie Wells has a banged up knee. Todd Heap and Rob Housler are damaged goods. For the Rams Sam Bradford is listed as questionable.
Hit the jump to find out who walks the sidelines today.
Sitting for the Cards this game are:
- QB Kevin Kolb
- FS Kerry Rhodes. A broken foot has a few weeks of healing left.
- TE Rob Housler. Sprained groin.
- FB Anthony Sherman. And ankle injury is the culprit.
- OLB Joey Porter. A chronic knee injury.
- WR Stephen Williams
- G Deuce Lutui
John Skelton starts. That is the news of the day. Combined with a healthy Heap and a playing Wells. Expect to see a bunch of run and TE release to help the rookie. It is interesting to see Lutui on this list. He has yet to make any real impact. Is he in the dog house?
Here are the Rams' inactive players:
- DT Darell Scott
- WR Danario Alexander
- RB Jerious Norwood
- CB Rod Hood
- OLB Bryan Kehl
- OT Jason Smith
- TE Stephen Spach
Sam Bradford will be active for this game. No news on whether or not he will start. Rod Hood and Stephen Spach, two former Cards, will not suit up against their former team.
