Cardinals final injury report: Hollywood Brown questionable, James Conner to play
The Arizona Cardinals have wrapped up their week of practice preparing for their Week 4 road matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. They have released their final injury report of the week with game designations and could be without a few key players.
In all, two defensive starters have been ruled out and another four players, two of whom are starters, are questionable.
Running back James Conner, who was limited early in the week with a back injury, is good to go and will suit up and play against the Niners.
The details of the final injury report are below.

Ruled out
DL Jonathan Ledbetter (finger), LB Josh Woods (ankle)
Ledbetter, a starter, makes the fourth defensive lineman the Cardinals have had miss a game in the last three weeks. L.J. Collier and Carlos Watkins are on injured reserve.
His absence means the starting lineup likely will be Kevin Strong, Leki Fotu and either newly signed Roy Lopez or rookie Dante Stills. Expect a defensive lineman like Eric Banks or Ben Stille to be elevated from the practice squad.
Woods is missing his third straight game. Krys Barnes, who is questionable for the game would start but it could be Zeke Turner.
Questionable
LB Krys Barnes (finger), WR Hollywood Brown (thumb), EB Keaontay Ingram (neck), OL Paris Johnson (ankle)
Barnes was limited Thursday and Friday after sitting out on Wednesday. He would start but, if he can’t play, would be replaced in the lineup by Zeke Turner.
Brown was limited for two days. Ingram was limited on Thursday and sat out on Friday, putting in doubt his availability. If the Cardinals bring up Corey Clement from the practice squad, we will know Ingram can’t play.
Johnson must have injured his ankle on Friday. He was a new addition to the injury report. Kelvin Beachum would start in his place if he can’t go.
No game designations
OL Kelvin Beachum (hand), LB Zaven Collins (eye), RB James Conner (back)
Beachum and Collins were full participants all week. Collins, who was poked in the eye last week, will wear a helmet shield to protect his eyes.
Conner was a full participant two days in a row after getting limited reps on Wednesday.
