Larry Fitzgerald activated from reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Giants game
The Arizona Cardinals could have a familiar face back on the field for Sunday's game at the New York Giants.
Arizona officially activated wide receiver and future Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald off the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, putting the 37-year-old on track to play at MetLife Stadium.
Fitzgerald, who hasn't been in the lineup since the 28-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 19, went on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Nov. 26, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. He missed games against the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams that Arizona dropped to fall to 6-6 on the season.
The Cardinals have lost four of their last five coming off their bye.
Fitzgerald discussed his coronavirus experience while speaking with Jim Gray during the Westwood One Sports "Monday Night Football" pregame show:
The all-time great is second on the Cardinals with 43 catches and third on Arizona with 336 receiving yards this year.
The Giants, meanwhile, have surged to the top of the NFC East standings with a 5-7 mark following four consecutive victories. Big Blue won at Seattle last Sunday and held Most Valuable Player candidate and Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in check for the bulk of that contest.
