Arizona Cardinals injury update: One safety out, one on way back
The Arizona Cardinals have another injured safety, but one is on his way back to being able to play after missing games.
The Arizona Cardinals are facing injury concerns ahead of their Sunday game against the LA Rams. Rookie safety Wydett Williams is out with a concussion and is currently under concussion protocol, meaning he won't be cleared to play until further notice. This leaves the Cardinals without a safety for Sunday's matchup.
With Andrew Wingard still dealing with a knee injury, the team is left with only Budda Baker and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson as healthy, available safeties. However, there's a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Kitan Crawford, who suffered an ankle injury in Week 1, was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday. His 21-day practice window has been opened, allowing him to participate in practices despite still being on injured reserve.
Crawford can potentially be reinstated to the active roster at any point during this 21-day period. If he hasn't been reinstated by the end of the 21 days, he will revert back to injured reserve for the remainder of the season. It remains to be seen if Crawford will indeed be activated in time for Sunday's game against the LA Rams at SoFi Stadium.
