FRIDAY REPORT
After not practicing all week, defensive lineman Darius Robinson will not play in Sunday's contest against the Titans. The second-year player left the Week 4 game against the Seahawks with a pectoral injury. In the last two games, the Cardinals have turned to practice squad defensive lineman Anthony Goodlow to help the ailing unit.
Also missing from Friday's practice was starting left guard Evan Brown (hamstring) who was listed as doubtful. Interior offensive lineman Will Hernandez has been a limited participant at each practice since the season began, although he has been inactive for each game as he continues to recover from his knee injury. Questionable to play this weekend, Gannon said "it has been awesome" to have Hernandez in the building.
The Cardinals have been without Will Johnson for the last two games after he injured his groin against the Panthers. The corner is questionable to play this weekend. Cornerback Denzel Burke (knee), wide receiver Greg Dortch (collarbone) and defensive lineman Bilal Nichols (neck) are also questionable to play.
Coach Jonathan Gannon was asked about 2023 second-rounder BJ Ojulari who has been sidelined since he tore his ACL in training camp last year. When asked if the outside linebacker would play at any point this season, Gannon was noncommittal, adding that it's a "hypothetical." He did mention that Ojulari was "improving every day."
For the Titans, starting offensive tackle JC Latham will be out this weekend with a hip injury. Safety Mike Brown (knee), wide receiver Bryce Oliver (knee), and right guard Blake Hance (shoulder) will also be inactive. Wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee/elbow) returned to practice on Friday and is listed as questionable.
THURSDAY REPORT
Not much changed for the Cardinals on their second day of practice for the Titans. Defensive lineman Darius Robinson (pectoral) continued to be the lone player to sit out; offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum was back on the field after his rest day. Cornerback Will Johnson (groin) was again limited, although after not practicing at all for two weeks, his improvement is welcome.
Wide receivers Simi Fehoko and Zay Jones seem to have recovered from their concussions, after both were upgraded to full practice Thursday. Offensive linemen Will Hernandez (knee) and Evan Brown (hamstring) remain limited.
For the Titans, starting tackle JC Latham (hip) and starting wideout Calvin Ridley (knee/elbow) also remained as DNP.
WEDNESDAY REPORT
After holding a bonus practice on Monday, the Cardinals logged their first official practice of the week on Wednesday. Darius Robinson, who had exited Thursday's game with a pectoral injury, did not participate either days. However, Bilal Nichols (neck) had his 21-day practice window opened on Monday as he works to rejoin the defensive line room. He was a limited participant on Wednesday.
After sustaining a concussion on Thursday night, wide receiver Simi Fehoko continues to work his way through concussion protocol. He was wearing the yellow non-contact jersey on Wednesday.
Will Johnson also practiced on Monday and Wednesday after missing the last two games with a groin injury. The rookie cornerback was a limited participant but looked smooth as he was going through drills during the open portion of practice. Offensive lineman Will Hernandez (knee), wide receiver Greg Dortch (collarbone), and left guard Evan Brown (hamstring) were also limited.
The Titans opened up the practice window for running Tyjae Spears. Brian Callahan said they are working to get the running back into game shape. He also said "we'll see" when discussing JC Latham's availability to return, adding he is trending upwards. The right tackle has been dealing with a hip issue since Week 1.
