Cardinals Make Final Moves vs Dolphins
Late Roster Moves Made
In the wake of several season-ending injuries, the Arizona Cardinals have made a series of additions and subtractions from their roster ahead of a wild-card game at the Miami Dolphins.
Veteran defensive end JJ Watt, who suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 16, has been placed on injured reserve.
The Cardinals also made a series of practice squad moves, adding cornerback Trayvon Mullen, safety Tony Jefferson and offensive lineman Rashaad Coward.
Playoff Hopes Still Alive
Despite the injuries, the Cardinals are still alive in the NFC playoff race.
A win over the Dolphins would clinch a wild-card berth for the Cardinals, who would finish the season with a 9-8 record.
Tough Test Ahead
The Dolphins have won three straight games and are buoyed by the return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who missed the last two games with a concussion.
The Cardinals will be without a number of key players, including Watt, DeAndre Hopkins (knee) and Marquise Brown (foot), but they are still confident they can pull off an upset.
Final Thoughts
The Cardinals' playoff hopes are on the line when they face the Dolphins on Sunday in Miami.
Despite the injuries, the Cardinals are confident they can pull off an upset and clinch a wild-card berth.
