Cardinals injury report: Sean Murphy-Bunting, Roy Lopez ruled out vs. Dolphins
Cardinals defense takes another hit with two key players out
The Arizona Cardinals will be without two key defensive players when they take on the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting and defensive lineman Roy Lopez have been ruled out with injuries.
Murphy-Bunting is dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered in the Cardinals' win over the Carolina Panthers last week. Lopez is dealing with a knee injury.
The loss of Murphy-Bunting and Lopez is a big blow to the Cardinals' defense. Murphy-Bunting is one of the team's best cornerbacks, and Lopez is a key piece of the team's pass rush.
The Cardinals will need to find a way to replace the production of Murphy-Bunting and Lopez if they want to beat the Dolphins. The Dolphins have a high-powered offense led by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
The Cardinals are now 4-1 on the season. They will host the Dolphins on Sunday at State Farm Stadium.
Other Cardinals injury updates
In addition to Murphy-Bunting and Lopez, the Cardinals also have a few other players who are dealing with injuries.
- Wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) is questionable to play against the Dolphins.
- Linebacker Dennis Gardeck (ankle) is probable to play against the Dolphins.
- Safety Budda Baker (ankle) is probable to play against the Dolphins.
The Cardinals will need all hands on deck if they want to beat the Dolphins. The Dolphins are a tough opponent, and the Cardinals will need to be at their best to win.
