No Zach Ertz, J.J. Watt in Cardinals’ 1st practice of week
The Arizona Cardinals began the week of practice in Week 1 on Monday. There will be no official injury report until Wednesday, but they are still dealing with injuries for a few starters.
According to team reporter Darren Urban and others in attendance during the open portion of practice, the following players were not participating.
DE J.J. Watt
TE Zach Ertz
CB Trayvon Mullen
QB Colt McCoy
LB Markus Golden
Watt is coming back from a bout with COVID and it is believed he will be ready to play by the end of the week.
Ertz has a calf injury. He will likely be questionable for the game.
Mullen was just recently acquired via trade.
McCoy has been dealing with arm soreness.
Golden was seen on the side working out. He had a toe injury a while back in training camp. Some also believe he could be holding out of practice in hope of a contract extension.
Left guard Justin Pugh, who had been dealing with a neck injury, was seen in uniform in the open part of practice. So was center Rodney Hudson.
Running back Jonathan Ward, dealing with a shoulder injury, was seen participating. So was receiver Rondale Moore, considered day-to-day last week.
The first injury report of the week will come out Wednesday afternoon.
