Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins -- the offseason
trade acquisition who leads the NFL with 32 receptions and 356
receiving yards -- sat out practice with an ankle injury.
According to reports, Hopkins skipping Wednesday practice isn't
uncommon as he has routine rest days during the week. But his
addition to the injury report was unexpected. Hopkins held a
Zoom meeting with reporters before the injury report came out,
and according to reports, Hopkins' ankle was never discussed.
Among the other players not practicing for the Cardinals were
safety Budda Baker (thumb), linebacker Devon Kennard (calf) and
receiver Larry Fitzgerald (not injury-related).
Wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) and center Mason Cole
(hamstring) were among four players who practiced on a limited
basis.
The Cardinals (2-1) visit the Carolina Panthers (1-2) on Sunday.
Arizona is looking to bounce back from its first loss of the
season, 26-23 to the Detroit Lions last week.
