Injury Woes for Cardinals Ahead of Rams Matchup
The Arizona Cardinals face a daunting challenge as they prepare for their crucial Week 14 clash against the Los Angeles Rams. Unfortunately for the team and its fans, Wednesday’s practice revealed a troubling injury situation that could significantly impact their game plan.
Key Players Absent from Practice
According to reports, the Cardinals were without several notable contributors during the open portion of practice. Missing the session were running back Trey Benson, wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Greg Dortch, pass rusher Josh Sweat, defensive lineman Walter Nolen III, safety Rabbit Taylor-Demerson, cornerback Max Melton, and offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum.
This absence of key personnel raises concerns about the Cardinals’ depth and readiness as they look to play spoiler against a division rival. The inability to practice could hinder their chances of mounting a competitive performance, especially against a Rams team that is consistently looking to solidify its playoff positioning.
Some Positive News with Return of Demercado
On a slightly brighter note, running back Emari Demercado was back on the field, which could provide a much-needed boost to the Cardinals’ backfield. His return may help offset the absence of Benson, who has been a key player in the running game this season.
As the Cardinals gear up for this pivotal matchup, the status of their injured players will be closely monitored. The team’s ability to overcome these setbacks will be critical as they aim to disrupt the Rams’ playoff aspirations.
