FRIDAY REPORT
Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. cleared concussion protocol and will return this weekend after exiting last weekend's outing. It'll be a boost to an offensive attack that took a step, generating a season-high 400 yards. Harrison practiced fully on Friday.
Expect to see a lot of snaps from Bam Knight and Michael Carter against the Packers this weekend, with running back Emari Demercado out after injuring his ankle in the first half against the Colts. He did not practice all week.
Defensive lineman Walter Nolen III will not be activated to the 53-man roster this weekend. A limited participant in practice all week, Nolen's progression stood out to coach Jonathan Gannon.
"He was excited. He did a good job," Gannon said. "There's return to play lungs and there's also football lungs, as I would say. Playing football is a little bit different. Our guys do a really good job with those guys' return to play, but they're all different depending on the injury, depending on the guy, the position."
Right guard Will Hernandez was downgraded to a limited participant with a knee injury. He's questionable to play.
Quarterback Kyler Murray continues to work through his foot injury and will be evaluated over the next 48 hours. He continued to throw with the practice squad receivers while Jacoby Brissett and Kedon Slovis practiced with the receivers on the active roster.
Murray is questionable to play, as is wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) who returned to practice on Friday. Safety Kitan Crawford (ankle) and Darius Robinson (pectoral) are also questionable.
The Packers won't activate wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) to the 53-man roster. They also ruled out defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt (Knee) and Lukas Van Ness (foot).
THURSDAY REPORT
As the Cardinals prepare to face Green Bay, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. continues to make his way through concussion protocol. A limited participant at practice, Harrison wore the yellow non-contact jersey. During the open portion of practice, Harrison was working with the starting unit, which featured Jacoby Brissett.
Quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) was officially limited and throwing with the scout team receivers in the open portion. Game statuses will be announced in Friday's injury report.
In his first padded practice since his collegiate days, defensive lineman Walter Nolen III looked quick and was receiving praise from defensive line coach Winston DeLattiboudere III. Nolen and defensive lineman Darius Robinson (pectoral) were limited.
The Cardinals practiced without running back Emari Demercado (ankle) and wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) once again. Safety Kitan Crawford (ankle) also was downgraded to DNP.
Defensive linemen Devonte Wyatt and Lukas Van Ness also did not practice for the Packers. If they can't go, it's a hit to a Green Bay defense that ranks first in the NFL allowing an average of 73 rushing yards per game.
WEDNESDAY REPORT
There's no disputing that the Cardinals are banged up. The team switched their practice schedule and turned Wednesday into a closed walkthrough. "It's best thing for the team," coach Jonathan Gannon said, making the day's injury designations an estimation.
The injury woes at running back continue for the Cardinals as Emari Demercado, who left Sunday's game with an ankle injury, was a DNP. Running back Bam Knight (knee) was also limited.
Demercado's progression, as well as wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) who did not practice, will be something the team will monitor.
Quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) headlines a double-digit list of players that were limited during the walkthrough. Gannon said that when Murray is healthy enough to return, he will be back in the lineup. Gannon said wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is in concussion protocol.
Ahead of Wednesday's walkthrough, the Cardinals opened up the practice window for Walter Nolen III. It's the first-round pick's first practice since injuring his calf prior to training camp. The defensive line also welcomed back Darius Robinson (pectoral) after missing the last two games.
Starting defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (knee) and right tackle Zach Tom (oblique/back) did not practice for the Packers.
