While injuries are not a new thing in the NFL, several teams will say that short weeks prevent players from playing who might have been able to should the games still all be played on Sunday or Monday. It doesn’t appear that way with the Cardinals players ruled out this week.
A day before the Cardinals take on the Vikings at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, three players have been ruled out by coach Bruce Arians. Andre Ellington, Jerraud Powers and Frostee Rucker will sit out this week.
Ellington suffered a toe injury two weeks ago and has not practiced since.
