Ailing Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin, along with inside linebacker Gerald Hayes, did not practice Wednesday.

Boldin has been nursing left ankle and knee injuries he suffered in the Cardinals' regular-season finale against Green Bay. He was inactive for their 51-45 overtime victory over the Packers in the first round of the NFC playoffs Sunday.

The Cardinals play at New Orleans on Saturday.

Hayes suffered a right ankle injury on the first play of the playoff game but played with it the rest of the way.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt says both players are getting better, but both are likely to be a "game-day decision.''

Steve Breaston started for Boldin last week and had seven receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown.
