Cardinals Rule Five Players Inactive for Week 2 Home Game vs. Seahawks
Arizona's decision not to make Saturday elevations forced the team to lean on earlier practice‑squad moves and available depth against the defending champions.
Overview
- The Cardinals' final inactive list, announced about 90 minutes before kickoff, left five players out: QB Carson Beck, CB Garrett Williams, OL Josh Fryar, WR Reggie Virgil, and DL Andrew Billings.
- Garrett Williams was ruled out with an Achilles issue and Andrew Billings was listed inactive after being questionable on the week’s report, creating immediate concerns for Arizona's secondary and interior defensive line.
- Both starting guards, Isaac Seumalo and Isaiah Adams, were listed as questionable on the final injury report, and the team made no Saturday elevation to add offensive-line depth.
- Arizona had earlier this week promoted cornerback Kalen King from the practice squad to cover Williams' absence, while Seattle elevated Rodney Thomas after safety Ty Okada was ruled out.
- The roster moves shape matchups in a bitter rivalry game and leave Arizona relying on short-term depth decisions to handle injuries against a Seahawks team defending its title.
