When the Arizona Cardinals took the field in practice on Thursday, they were almost at full strength. Only one player, safety Rashad Johnson, did not practice at all.
The other five players listed on the report all were limited. They were linbacker Jasper Brinkley (groin), guard Darn Colledge (leg), defensive lineman Darnell Dockett (groin), linebacker Kevin Minter (hamstring) and Rondald Talley (wrist).
For the Panthers, it was a reasonably long list of players that did not practice at all.
DT Dwan Edwards (hamstring), DE Greg Hardy (illness), S Quintin Mikell (ankle), CB D.J. Moore (knee) and DT Kawan Short (knee) all missed Thursday's practice.
One day of practice remains for both teams. If Hardy cannot play, that would be a huge break for Arizona, who struggles to protect Carson Palmer in the passing game.
