This time around, Phil Dawson couldn’t avoid missing the game. A few weeks ago he was hurt but was good enough to play. On Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals kicker has been ruled out against the Oakland Raiders.
Dawson will give way to Matt McCrane. He was with the Cardinals in training camp/preseason. He spent a little time with the Raiders this season as well.
Other players inactive for the Cardinals include safety Budda Baker. He was ruled out on Friday. Safety Rudy Ford also has been ruled out. He was questionable heading in to the game after being limited in practice on Friday.
