Cardinals' Kylie Fitts: Tagged as questionable
Fitts (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Fitts logged three limited practice sessions this week and is trending in the right direction, although the Cardinals could shut him down so he can get back to full health during the team's Week 8 bye. The 26-year-old linebacker is slated for a starting role if he can play, but Haason Reddick is expected to start if Fitts can't go.
