The Arizona Cardinals had a pair of players who could have given the team a boost in their trip to Green Bay this weekend. However, neither player will be able to go.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Friday that receiver Zay Jones and rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson will not play on Sunday.
Jones was reinstated from his five-game suspension to start the season but the team was granted a one-game exemption for him. Gannon said “it was good to get him out there” but that they were “going to be smart” with him. He will not be activated.
Robinson, who had his practice window opened Wednesday in a return from injured reserve after missing five games with a calf injury, “has some discomfort” so he will not be activated.
We will have to wait for the Cardinals’ Monday night game against the Los Angeles Chargers for Jones’ 2024 debut and at least that long for Robinson’s debut.
