Rotowire
Wingard (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Cardinals' Andrew Wingard: Misses Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Wingard (groin) did not practice Thursday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
Wingard was limited in Wednesday's practice. However, he wasn't on the field for Thursday's session, so things don't look promising regarding his availability in Week 10 against the Rams. The 29-year-old is coming off a 12-tackle performance in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Seahawks. If Wingard can't suit up Sunday, Kitan Crawford and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson are candidates for more snaps.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Piles up 11 tackles in Week 9 loss
Rotowire
Baker recorded 11 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Cardinals.
The star safety has now logged three 11-tackle games this season, and Baker remains one of the bright spots for a Cardinals team that doesn't have many in 2026. The 10th-year pro was mentioned in trade rumors prior to Tuesday's deadline, but he'll finish out the campaign in Arizona. He's up to 62 tackles (29 solo), including a career-high 3.5 sacks, four pass breakups, including an interception, and a forced fumble across nine starts this season. Baker appears headed for an eighth straight Pro Bowl selection.

Rotowire
The Cardinals designated Carter (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Carter opened the season on injured reserve due to a knee injury that he sustained during training camp. He was a limited practice participant in Wednesday's session, but he would need to be activated from IR in order to be available for Sunday's NFC West tilt against the Rams.

Cardinals' Andrew Wingard: Dealing with groin injury
Rotowire
Wingard (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Wingard has been working through a knee injury for the past month, but he's now dealing with a groin issue that he may have picked up against the Seahawks in Week 9, when he logged 12 tackles (four solo) while playing every single defensive snap. Wingard has two more chances to practice in full and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams. Kitan Crawford and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson would be the top candidates to start next to Budda Baker at safety if Wingard cannot play in Week 10.

Lopez (toe) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Lopez sustained a toe injury late in the first half, and he will now be forced to miss the rest of Week 9. In his absence, Andrew Billings is a top candidate to continue to see added snaps at defensive tackle against Seattle.

Cardinals' Roy Lopez: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Lopez (toe) is questionable to return to Arizona's matchup versus the Seahawks on Sunday.
Lopez suffered a toe injury in the first half, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. If the 2021 sixth-round pick ends up being unable to return, Andrew Billings and L.J. Collier could see an uptick in playing time for the remainder of the matchup.

Cardinals' Max Melton: Set for Sunday
Rotowire
Melton (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Melton logged consecutive limited practices to end Week 9 prep. The cornerback appears to have overcome his knee injury in time to play in Sunday's contest, leaving Kalen King to remain in a reserve role for Week 9.

Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Active for Week 9
Rotowire
Nolen (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Nolen's trio of limited practices during Week 9 prep proves enough to allow the defensive tackle to suit up for Sunday's game. The 23-year-old accumulated 14 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the 2026 regular season before missing consecutive contests with an ankle injury.

Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Could return Sunday
Rotowire
Nolen (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Week 9 tilt against the Seahawks, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
An ankle injury caused Nolen to miss Arizona's past two contests, but he was able to log a trio of limited practices this week. That gives him at least a chance of suiting up Sunday in Seattle. Should Nolen need to sit out again, though, L.J. Collier could soak up most of his defensive snaps.

Cardinals' Max Melton: May miss Week 9
Rotowire
Melton (knee) is questionable to play against Seattle on Sunday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Melton missed Week 7 versus Denver due to a knee issue but was able to return last Sunday against Dallas. However, the injury is still a concern, and the third-year cornerback was limited in practice both Thursday and Friday this week. If he can't play Week 9, Kalen King may log a start.

Cardinals' Andrew Wingard: Returning in Week 8
Rotowire
Wingard (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Wingard has been battling a bone bruise in his knee. While it didn't result in a stint on injured reserve, it kept him off the field for Arizona's last three contests. Now that Wingard is available to return in Week 8, it will likely mean fewer snaps for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson.

Rotowire
Melton (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Melton put together three-straight limited practices while working through a knee injury that prevented him from playing against the Broncos in Week 7. Kalen King would be in line for more snaps in the secondary if Melton is not cleared by medical staff to play Sunday.

Rotowire
Wingard (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Wingard has a chance to return from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. His practice reps were limited during Week 8 prep, and if he's not cleared to play, then Dadrion Taylor-Demerson would likely start alongside Budda Baker at safety.

Cardinals' Mack Wilson: Cleared to play against Dallas
Rotowire
Wilson (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson's practice reps were limited due to a knee injury, but the veteran linebacker's full practice Friday was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Sunday's road game. The 2019 fifth-rounder has 47 tackles (20 solo), one pass defense and one forced fumble through seven regular-season games.

Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Won't play against Dallas

Nolen will end up missing a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury that he sustained in Week 6 against the Rams. L.J.

Rotowire
Wilson (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Cardinals' Andrew Wingard: Manages limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Wingard (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Wingard has been sidelined for the Cardinals' past three games due to a bone bruise in his knee he sustained back in Week 4 against the Giants, and now his availability for Week 8 is in question. If he can upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday, there's a good chance he'll suit up Sunday at Dallas.
