Josh Sweat Active Against Bengals, Max Melton Returns

CINCINNATI -- Josh Sweat is having an interesting week.

The outside linebacker, who leads the team with 11 sacks, will be active Sunday against the Bengals, despite not practicing at all with ankle and knee injuries. He'll have the chance to set his personal high for sacks in a season -- he has currently tied his best year -- a couple of days after lamenting he was not named to the Pro Bowl. (Sweat was named an alternate.)

Sweat will be a important piece in trying to deal with a potent Bengals passing attack led by quarterback Joe Burrow.

Cornerback Max Melton, who has missed the last four games with a heel injury, is also active. He returns to play with a similar issue as wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who came back last week and is playing for a second straight game.

With the return of defensive lineman L.J. Collier from IR, P.J. Mustipher is inactive for the first time all season.

The Cardinals' full inactive list:

  • S Budda Baker (concussion)
  • CB Kei'Trel Clark (back)
  • CB Kalen King
  • TE Pharaoh Brown
  • OL Evan Brown (personal)
  • DL P.J. Mustipher
  • K Joshua Karty
