Cardinals: safety Qwuantrezz Knight (unspecified), linebacker Tyreke Smith (non-injury related), offensive lineman Carter O’Donnell (unspecified), offensive lineman Dennis Daley (unspecified) and tight end Blake Whiteheart (unspecified)
49ers (according to team website): quarterback Brandon Allen (unspecified), defensive lineman Arik Armstead (foot, knee), defensive lineman Javon Hargrave (hamstring), tight end Ross Dwelley (ankle), linebacker Oren Burks (knee), running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) and offensive lineman Spencer Burford (knee)
One name not on their list was Arizona safety Budda Baker. It was announced earlier that Baker was dealing with an illness and was listed as questionable, but with his name not appearing as inactive, he will be good to go against San Francisco.
Smith is out as he recently signed with the Cardinals from the Seattle Seahawks practice squad on Friday and hasn’t practiced.
In contrast, the 49ers, they will have to deal with injury blows to their defense line with Armstead, Hargrave and Burks all being inactive in Glendale.
The NFC West Division clash between the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers begins today on CBS.
