Andrew Billings - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Not included on injury report Billings (knee) did not appear on the Cardinals' injury report Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Billings was unable to play in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks after suffering a knee injury earlier in the week, but he now appears to be back to full health. The 31-year-old will likely be back in his role as a primary reserve option behind Roy Lopez (groin) and Walter Nolen at defensive tackle versus San Francisco in Week 3.

Iffy due to knee issue Billings (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Billings popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a knee injury, suggesting that he tweaked his knee during Wednesday's session. His status for Sunday's NFC West tilt may not be officially known until 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. kickoff, when the Cardinals announce their list of inactive players. Roy Lopez is working through a groin injury, so the Cardinals enter the weekend with Walter Nolen and L.J. Collier as the only healthy defensive tackles on the active roster, though defensive ends Darius Robinson and Jordan Burch could also operate in the interior if need be.
