Cardinals' Deone Bucannon: Expected to suit up Sunday

Head coach Bruce Arians said Friday that Bucannon (ankle) is expected to play Sunday at Minnesota, Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic reports.

With back-to-back DNPs to begin Week 11 preparation, the Cardinals were potentially facing life without the dollar linebacker for at least a game. However, he returned in a limited fashion Friday and was deemed questionable for the upcoming contest, per Darren Urban of the team's official site. If Arians' belief comes to fruition, the Cardinals' leading tackler will be key in their attempt to throttle Minnesota's sputtering offense.
