Cardinals' John Phillips: Not practicing to begin week

Phillips (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Phillips appears to have sustained a knee injury during a Week 11 loss to the Raiders, putting his availability for Sunday's tilt against the Chargers in question. The veteran tight end has only seen usage as a rotational blocker during his two games with the Cardinals, so it's unlikely that his tentative absence would have a notable impact on Arizona's offense.
