Outside of Xavier Weaver, the other five players are all healthy scratches. Weaver has practiced in a limited capacity with an oblique injury that kept him out of their Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Cardinals utilized mostly Marvin Harrison Jr. (55 snaps), Michael Wilson (49), and Greg Dortch (37) at the receiver position and a similar split appears likely in Week 2. Deejay Dallas will be the primary kickoff returner and Dortch on punt returns.
Jon Gaines being listed as inactive is interesting, as the Cardinals elevated Jackson Barton from the practice squad ahead of this matchup. Gaines, Hall, Luketa, and Vokolek have been healthy scratches for Arizona in their first two games of the season.
Kyler Murray had been listed as a full participant with a knee on Wednesday and Thursday but was removed from the injury report on Friday. He should be a full go to play every snap at quarterback, having gone the distance last week.
The Cardinals take on the Rams at State Farm Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 1:05 P.M. MST.
