Cardinals activate WR A.J. Green from COVID-19 list
The Arizona Cardinals have been crushed by injuries lately, but they should be getting back one of their offensive weapons for Sunday's Week 10 battle against the Carolina Panthers.
The Cardinals currently hold an NFL-best 8-1 record, but on offense alone, starting quarterback Kyler Murray, star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and starting running back Chase Edmonds are all battling injuries. Murray and Hopkins both missed the team's Week 9 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, while Edmonds exited after just one carry.
Murray -- who is battling a left ankle injury -- is hopeful to suit up on Sunday, Hopkins is considered day-to-day with his hamstring injury and Edmonds is expected to miss at least three weeks with a high-ankle sprain. Green missed last week as well after testing positive for COVID-19.
Colt McCoy, James Conner and Christian Kirk helped pace the offense in place of Murray, Edmonds, Hopkins and Green, respectively. McCoy went an efficient 22-for-26 for 249 passing yards, one touchdown and no interceptions, adding seven rushes for 23 yards in the 31-17 win.
Conner exploded for 96 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries, while contributing five receptions for 77 yards and one touchdown through the air as well. Kirk led all receivers by hauling in all six of his targets for 91 yards, while adding a 33-yard pass to Antoine Wesley as well.
