Injury Report: Week 18 vs Rams

Check in on the health of the Cardinals heading into their Week 18 matchup with the Rams

Week18

FRIDAY REPORT

Just in time for the final practice of the season, Josh Sweat made his return. It was the first time the outside linebacker has practiced since Dec. 19. Sweat managed to play through the ankle/knee injury last weekend against the Bengals.

This weekend, Sweat is questionable to play against the Rams. The lone player ruled out is left guard Evan Brown.

No other player received a game designation, after wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and safety Kitan Crawford were put on IR during the week.

The Rams ruled out offensive lineman Kevin Dotson. Wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring), and the running back duo of Blake Corum (ankle) and Kyren Williams (ankle) are questionable to play.

THURSDAY REPORT

Budda Baker will play in the season finale this weekend.

After the safety missed Week 17 with a concussion, Baker said he cleared protocol and is good to make his return against the Rams.

"I'm super excited," Baker said. "Another opportunity to put it on the field and I'm ready to use my shoulders again."

Outside linebacker Josh Sweat made a brief appearance at practice, but was listed as a DNP with an ankle/knee injury. Left guard Evan Brown (NIR-Personal) also did not practice. Right tackle Kelvin Beachum was back at practice after his rest day on Wednesday.

Davante Adams (hamstring) returned to practice for the Rams on Thursday. The wide receiver was a limited participant.

WEDNESDAY REPORT

Marvin Harrison Jr. (foot/heel) will not play in the season finale against the Rams. While Harrison was nursing a nagging heel injury in the last two outings, it was a foot injury he sustained against the Bengals that will sideline him for the year. Injuries certainly put a dent in the wide receiver's second season as Harrison finished with 41 receptions for 608 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games played.

Safety Kitan Crawford (ankle) also was ruled out by Jonathan Gannon.

The Cardinals and Rams both held walkthroughs on Wednesday, making the injury designations an estimation.

Outside linebacker Josh Sweat played through an ankle/knee injury on Sunday. He did not practice. Right tackle Kelvin Beachum (NIR-rest) and Evan Brown (NIR-Personal) also did not practice.

Budda Baker was limited on Wednesday. The Pro Bowl safety missed his first game of the year last weekend with a concussion.

After playing on Monday night, the Rams did not have wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) and running back Blake Corum (ankle) during walkthroughs.
