FRIDAY REPORT
The Cardinals' run game will look different Sunday when tight end Tip Reiman misses his first NFL game.
Reiman, a key piece to the ground game success, suffered a foot injury and missed practice all week. The Cardinals used 13 personnel more than any team in 2024 in large part due to Reiman's blocking ability. Tight end Travis Vokolek, who played three offensive snaps in New Orleans, will likely see an increase in production.
After a concussion in Week 1, linebacker Cody Simon will be out as well.
Jonathan Gannon said Blake Gillikin is trending towards playing. The punter appeared on the injury report with a back issue. He is questionable, as is offensive lineman Will Hernandez (knee).
The Panthers will be without defensive tackle Turk Wharton (hamstring). However, Panthers coach said he is optimistic that left tackle Ickem Ekwonu (illness) will play. He is listed as questionable.
THURSDAY REPORT
Tip Reiman was sidelined for his second consecutive practice. The tight end appeared on the injury report with a foot injury. His game status will be shared on Friday, but if the Cardinals are without Reiman, it'd be a blow to their rushing attack as Reiman is their best blocking tight end.
Linebacker Cody Simon remains in concussion protocol. Offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum returned from his veteran rest day.
Offensive lineman Will Hernandez (knee) and punter Blake Gillikin (back) were limited.
The Panthers' Thursday injury report wasn't much different from the one released on Wednesday. Defensive tackle Turk Wharton was sidelined as he deals with a hamstring injury.
WEDNESDAY REPORT
Cody Simon exited his rookie debut against the Saints after a tackle on a kickoff. The linebacker, who was evaluated for a concussion, was absent at practice on Wednesday. Joey Blount was also placed on injured reserve.
Coach Jonathan Gannon said the Cardinals were nursing some injuries following the season opener. Tight end Tip Reiman did not practice with a foot injury. Offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum was not at practice due to a rest day.
Offensive lineman Will Hernandez (knee) continued to practice in a limited role, as did punter Blake Gillikin (back).
Left tackle Ickem Ekwonu practiced as a limited participant on Wednesday. Panthers coach Dave Canales said the left tackle was "asking for more" as game week progresses.
