Cardinals get thinner at CB as Breon Borders lands on COVID list
The Arizona Cardinals entered the week thin at cornerback. Robert Alford is on injured reserve and Marco Wilson has a shoulder injury. They were going to sign veteran cornerback Bashaud Breeland but he tested positive for COVID-19 so that didn’t help.
Now they are down another cornerback. Breon Borders landed on the COVID list Tuesday.
Borders was signed a couple of weeks ago off the practice squad of the Tennessee Titans. He has not been active yet for the Cardinals.
The Cardinals also placed safety Javon Hagan, who is on the practice squad, on the practice squad COVID list.
As things stand, the only healthy cornerbacks on the roster are Byron Murphy and Antonio Hamilton. They also protected Kevin Peterson and Jace Whittaker on the practice squad. It would appear that the Cardinals will have Murphy, Hamilton and Peterson as their three starters when they take on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, provided Wilson is able to play.
The Cardinals now have four players on the COVID list — punter Andy Lee, linebacker Markus Golden, guard Sean Harlow and Borders. Hagan is on the practice squad COVID list.
