The Arizona Cardinals began their week of practice preparing for the Philadelphia Eagles and they released their first injury report of the week. They start the week off a bit banged up on both sides of the ball.

In all, 10 players did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Three were defensive lineman Domata Peko and receivers Larry Fitzgerald and DeAndre Hopkins, who all simply were given a rest day.

Seven sat out with injuries.

As expected, defensive lineman Jordan Phillips (hamstring) wasn’t able to practice. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury ruled him out on Monday. Safety Jalen Thompson (ankle) continues to be out. Kingsbury suggested he probably wouldn’t be ready for this weekend.

Linebacker De’Vondre Campbell (ankle) sat out as he did last week, although he did play on Sunday. Kicker Zane Gonzalez (back), who missed the game on Sunday, still sat out.

New injuries included guard Justin Pugh (calf), running back Chase Edmonds (ankle) and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (hamstring). They all sat out on Wednesday. Kingsbury said Edmonds was going to be a game-time decision this week. It sounds like he might not practice much this week.

If Pugh is unable to play, Justin Murray, now listed as the starting right guard, will likely slide over to left guard and J.R. Sweezy will start at right guards as he has all season until last Sunday. When Pugh left the game on Sunday, Murray replaced him and Sweezy came in.

Two other players were limited. Right tackle Kelvin Beachum, who left the game with an injury for four snaps, was limited on Wednesday with a back injury. Third-string running back Jonathan Ward (shoulder) was also limited.
