Matt Prater to miss week five matchup with Philadelphia Eagles

The Arizona Cardinals have an uphill battle on Sunday any way you slice it.

It may have gotten even more difficult this week as Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury let the media know on Wednesday that veteran kicker Matt Prater will miss this week against the only undefeated team in the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Prater was unable to finish the game against the Carolina Panthers because of a hip injury in the Cardinals 26-16 win.

So the team took action this week and signed Matt Ammendola to the practice squad, and now he will likely be the active kicker on Sunday in the Cardinals matchup with the Eagles.
