Cardinals Rule Three Players Out vs Steelers
Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has ruled out three players ahead of the team's Week 13 road battle against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"On the injury front, [Antonio] Hamilton won't be able to go. Starling [Thomas] won't be able to go and Michael Wilson won't be able to go. Everybody else, we'll see." 

Arizona takes a massive hit to the secondary with two players already ruled out. Without Hamilton and Thomas, look for Kei'Trel Clark, Garrett Williams and Marco Wilson to see time in Pittsburgh. Wilson has been a hot topic of discussion in the desert due to his drop in play over the last few weeks. 

In Week 12's loss against the Los Angeles Rams, Wilson didn't register any snaps on defense after effectively being benched, though he did see action on special teams. 

Hamilton did not play last week while Thomas played 40 snaps for Arizona. 

Switching to the offensive side of the ball, Wilson continues to deal with a shoulder injury that has kept him out for multiple games now. He reportedly suffered a setback in his recovery two weeks ago.

Arizona has loved the talent Wilson has displayed when healthy, though the biggest concern for the Stanford product coming out of the draft was his ability to remain on the field. He's played in just nine games thus far. 

The Cardinals are set to release their official game status list later today after their final practice of the week. 

Marquise Brown and Zach Pascal did not practice on Thursday while Joey Blount, Kevin Strong, Elijah Wilkinson, Trey McBride and Jalen Thompson were limited.
