Cardinals’ L.J. Collier: Not ready to return
Collier (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Cardinals’ Michael Wilson: Heads injury-riddled WR corps again
Wilson‘s teammates Marvin Harrison (heel) and Greg Dortch (chest) have been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Rams.
Wilson and Dortch both enjoyed spikes in production during Harrison’s two-game absence, followed by steep declines in both targets and fantasy points when Harrison returned for last Sunday’s 20-17 loss at Tampa Bay. With Harrison now out again, and Dortch joining him this time, the Cardinals are painfully thin at wide receiver behind Wilson. Even Xavier Weaver (questionable – hamstring) may not end up playing, in which case Andre Baccellia and various practice-squad promotions would be the favorites to take WR snaps alongside Wilson. It’s a great situation to pile up targets, albeit against a tough defense that won’t take Wilson lightly after his massive numbers in Weeks 11-12.

Cardinals’ Xavier Weaver: Questionable after DNP
The Cardinals added Weaver to the injury report midweek, listing him as a limited participant Thursday. An absence Friday supports the notion that Weaver was injured during Thursday’s session, leaving him uncertain to play ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. With Marvin Harrison (calf) and Greg Dortch (chest) already ruled out, the Cardinals will need help from the practice squad behind Michael Wilson and Andre Baccellia.
