Why aren’t Zay Jones and Darius Robinson playing for the Cardinals against the Packers? NFL Week 6 injury status
The Cardinals face the Packers at Lambeau Field, with kickoff at noon on Sunday. The Cardinals have a number of key players doubtful.
Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones has finished his five-week suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy but he won’t be back for game 6 against the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday (kickoff at noon), because he’s picked up a hamstring injury.
He was suspended after being arrested on Nov. 13 last year and charged with misdemeanor domestic battery after an argument with the mother of his child allegedly resulted in an injury to her neck, according to the arrest and booking reporst. Although the single charge against Jones was dropped in March he was still suspended under NFL rules.
Also out for the Cardinals is Darius Robinson who continues on injured reserve as he has been all season, with a calf injury.
Cardinals injury status
Last week offensive guard Isaiah Adams (thumb), centre Evan Brown (hamstring), linebacker Jesse Luketa (shoulder) and defensive end Bilal Nichols (finger) were all on the injury report, but are all now clear and fit to play.
That’s not the case for offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum (hamstring), tackle Christian Jones (ankle), kicker Matt Prater (knee) and cornerback Garrett Williams (groin) who are all questionable. That’s still good news for all of them, as they were all out last week, with Beachum having been on injury report for weeks.
