Arizona has numerous weapons out verse the Houston Texans

The Arizona Cardinals head into NRG Stadium to face the Houston Texans and have released the final injury updated report. This non-conference matchup is going to be a tough one for the Cardinals with all these injuries.

Arizona Cardinals are significantly shorthanded with key starters out or limited for Week 15.

Ruled Out/ Inactive

  1. WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) - out for Sunday's game.
  2. OT Paris Johnson Jr. (knee - sprained MCL) - not playing as well.
  3. WR Xavier Weaver (hamstring) - will not see any playing time against the Texans.
  4. S Jalen Thompson (hamstring) - ruled out in Houston.
  5. S Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (ankle) - another safety that will not see the field on Sunday.
  6. CB Max Melton (heel) - another back in the secondary that is ruled out against Houston.
  7. G Evan Brown (personal) - offensive line that is already in shambles, has Brown ruled out.

Questionable / Status Updates

  1. TE Elijah Higgins (illness) - questionable late in practice.
  2. RB Emari Demercado (ankle) - listed as questionable but expected to play on Sunday.
  3. OT Christian Jones (knee) - has been activated and status is available but not certain to play.

Arizona's offense will be missing their number one receiving threat in Marvin Harrison Jr. and the offensive line is dramatically thin right now, especially with the absence of Paris Johnson Jr. 

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett will have compounding protection and run blocking issues in Sunday's game in Houston.
