Jonathan Gannon ruled out the two players for Sunday&#8217;s game prior to Wednesday&#8217;s walkthrough, opening the door for rookie Josh Fryar to earn his second career start as the bookend tackle.<\/p>\n<p>Because the Cardinals held a walkthrough, the practice designations are estimations.<\/p>\n<p>Marvin Harrison Jr. was back at practice after missing the last two games with a heel injury. When asked how the wide receiver was doing, Gannon said Harrison felt &#8220;good&#8221; and they&#8217;ll see how the rest of the week goes. It&#8217;d be a boost to a wide receiver room that, besides for the recently signed Jalen Brooks, only has Michael Wilson as a healthy receiver.<\/p>\n<p>Cornerbacks Max Melton (heel) and Darren Hall (concussion), offensive linemen Kelvin Beachum (NIR-Rest) and Evan Brown (NIR-Personal), and outside linebacker Josh Sweat (NIR-Rest) did not take part in the walkthrough.<\/p>\n<p>After missing the last five games, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson returned in a limited capacity. The safety has been dealing with an ankle injury. Linebacker Cody Simon (knee\/ankle) and wide receiver Xavier Weaver (hamstring) were also limited.<\/p>\n<p>Defensive lineman L.J. Collier logged his first full practice since his window was opened. The Cardinals can activate him to the 53-man roster by Saturday afternoon. There is an open roster spot available.<\/p>\n<p>Wide receiver Drake London has missed the last four games with a PCL sprain. He returned to practice for the first time on Wednesday as a limited participant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the second week in a row, the Cardinals will be without left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. (knee)&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":456510,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[209001,122920,122923,95410,122921,62,67,132,68,209000],"class_list":{"0":"post-456509","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-atlanta-falcons-at-arizona-cardinals-2025-reg-16","9":"tag-featured-articles","10":"tag-home-page-news-headlines","11":"tag-injury-report","12":"tag-mega-feed","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-zach-gershman"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115743098336554604","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
