The Arizona Cardinals conducted their second practice this week on Thursday in preparation for Sunday’s season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers., and they released their second injury report of the week..

The Cardinals Thursday injury reportDid not participate

Depth could be an issue at safety after Taylor-Demerson was downgraded to not practicing Thursday after being limited the day before. He has been sidelined since being injured in the Aug. 22 preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.

It’s looking more and more as if Adams won’t be able to play Sunday. In his place would be Jon Gaines II, who got the first starts of career last season with five at left guard in the final weeks of the season.

Limited participation

  • RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle)
  • *OLB Josh Sweat (not injury related/rest/knee)
  • CB Garrett Williams (Achilles)
Love was limited for the second consecutive day as was Williams. As for Sweat, defensive coordinator Nick Rallis said Thursday he is “looking phenomenal.”

Williams tore his Achilles in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons and was removed from the active/physically unable to perform list on Aug. 20.

He told 

Noting that head coach Mike LaFleur said when he plays will largely be based on what Williams feels, the player noted, "You have to be honest with yourself. That's the biggest part. What do I need to feel like to be confident when I go in and play? That's what I have been feeling. As the days go by, I'm feeling faster, I'm feeling quicker, processing quicker. That's what it is all about. "

Even if he’s active Sunday, Denzel Burke and Williams will likely share snaps in the slot.
