The Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced their inactives for Sunday afternoon’s game

The Arizona Cardinals and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play at University of Phoenix Stadium at 1:05 p.m. Sunday afternoon.  Both teams have announced their inactive players.

The Arizona Cardinals do have a couple of different players on the list this week, including receiver J.J. Nelson, who hurt his shoulder in the loss to the New England Patriots last week.

Arizona Cardinals inactives:

WR J.J. Nelson

DT Robert Nkemdiche

DT Frostee Rucker

S Marqui Christian

DT Olsen Pierre

LB Kareem Martin

G Cole Toner

Rucker was also injured last week against the Patriots.  It was announced Rucker was going to miss the next two to three weeks, so his addition is also not a surprise.

Nkemdiche, who did not play well in last week’s loss, is out for Sunday as well.  He is listed to have an injured ankle.

Rucker’s absence means Ed Stinson is active on Sunday.  Stinson was inactive last week against the Patriots.

Also notable active on Sunday is guard Evan Mathis.  Mathis was injured last week and there was talk this week whether he would be able to continue on not only this week but for the future as well.

It says something about the Cardinals depth at defensive tackle to have three of the seven guys on the inactive list coming from that line.  The Cardinals should be just fine with the players they have available there.

Linebacker Kareem Martin is likely to miss at least another month or so.  He was injured in the final preseason game but was not put on the injured reserve.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers inactives:

QB Ryan Griffin

S Ryan Smith

RB Peyton Barber

LB Devante Bond

T Leonard Wester

DE Channing Ward

OL Caleb Benenoch

No Earth-shattering news on the Tampa Bay side of things.  Tampa will have all their top skill players available to them on Sunday afternoon.
