Cardinals WRs Rondale Moore (groin) and Greg Dortch (thumb) did not practice on Wednesday. Both of Arizona's slot receivers are in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. We'll see if they're able to practice tomorrow.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) is "trending in the right direction" to return for Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. Murray said that he "feels good" and expects to start that game. Arizona has seemingly played it very safe with this hamstring, so we're expecting Murray to be very close to 100% if he suits up this weekend.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday that QB Kyler Murray has progressed "quite a bit" with his hamstring injury. Kingsbury did not say whether Murray will be back for Week 12, though, saying that he needs to be "full throttle" before getting back under center. We'll track Murray's status throughout the week. Kingsbury also said that QB Colt McCoy is "banged up" with elbow, hand and knee injuries.

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch is getting an MRI on a thumb he injured in Monday night's loss to the 49ers, HC Kliff Kingsbury said. We'll update Dortch's status when we know more. WR Rondale Moore also got hurt in the Week 11 loss.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore is questionable to return to Monday night's game vs. the 49ers due to a groin injury. He lasted just 2 snaps before going down, carrying once for a loss of 6 yards. WR Greg Dortch has replaced Moore.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) is inactive for tonight’s matchup with the 49ers. Colt McCoy will make his 2nd straight start.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) was not activated from IR for tonight's game vs. the 49ers, as The Score's Jordan Schultz reported would be the case yesterday. Brown is reportedly aiming for a Week 12 return after getting back on the practice field this past week.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) might not return until after the team's Week 13 bye, "depending how the injury heals this week." It's already assumed Murray will miss tonight's game against the 49ers. This would mean he also misses next Sunday's clash with the Chargers. We'll watch to see what happens on that front this week. Colt McCoy remains the next man up.

The Score's Jordan Schultz reports that Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) won't play vs. the 49ers on Monday night. Brown returned to practice this week after chipping a bone in his foot in Week 6. He's "feeling much better" and is hoping to return for Week 12, per Schultz. But Brown should be on fantasy benches for Week 11.

FOX's Peter Schrager reports that QB Colt McCoy is expected to start Monday night against the 49ers. That would mean a 2nd straight missed game for QB Kyler Murray (hamstring). We're updating the Week 11 fantasy football rankings to reflect the QB change, though the QB switch shouldn't make a huge difference for the outlooks of Arizona pass-catchers.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that QB Kyler Murray's injured hamstring has "come a long way," according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. But the coach also said Murray will still be a game-time decision for Monday night against the 49ers. That late kick will make Murray difficult to wait for in fantasy football lineups unless you have Jimmy Garoppolo or Colt McCoy as insurance. We'll watch for early signals on the expectation for Murray's involvement.

Update: Murray is officially listed as questionable after getting in 3 limited practices this week.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) remained limited in Friday's practice. We'll see what he does on Saturday and how he's listed on the final injury report for Monday night's game vs. the 49ers. QB Colt McCoy (knee) was a full-go on Saturday, so it looks like he'll be available to start if Murray can't.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that QB Kyler Murray is "progressing" and has "come a long way" with his hamstring injury. Kingsbury went on to call Murray a game-time decision for Monday night's meeting with the 49ers -- which Kingsbury does for pretty much every questionable player. We'll get a couple more practice reports on Murray and then see how he's listed on the final injury report on Saturday afternoon.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (hip, illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. That puts him in line to return for Monday night's game vs. the 49ers, although Prater is a weak fantasy play with Arizona sporting a 17.75-point implied total.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Thursday. We'll see how he progresses over the next few days, leading up to Monday night's game vs. the 49ers. QB Colt McCoy (knee) was also limited on Thursday.

The Cardinals have designated WR Marquise Brown (foot) to return from IR. That opens a 3-week window for him to return to practice and the team to decide whether to put him back on the active roster. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds, however, that Brown "could play" this Monday night against the 49ers. He's worth grabbing off waivers this week where available either way but would be tough to throw into fantasy football lineups right away. We'll keep an eye on Brown's status heading into the weekend.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler believes the Cardinals might give QB Kyler Murray's injured hamstring "another week or so to heal." We've been expecting Murray to play vs. the 49ers on Monday night considering he got in a couple of limited practices last week, but Fowler says Arizona will see how Murray progresses throughout this week. Fowler adds that the Cardinals believe they can win with QB Colt McCoy, who's 3-1 as the team's starter. We'll get Arizona's first practice report of the week this afternoon.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that WR Marquise Brown is getting close to returning from his foot injury. "I think he's getting to the point where it's going to be day-to-day," Kingsbury said "He's come a long way in a short time and I'm not sure if he'll make it this week, but hopefully sooner rather than later. If not, we'll give him the bye [week] and then I would expect those last five [games] he'll be ready to go." It sounds like Brown's earliest realistic return date in Week 12 -- but after the Cardinals' Week 13 bye might be more likely. This all jibes with Brown's original timetable. If you've held on to him this whole time, keep hanging.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore finished just 1 target and 1 reception short of WR DeAndre Hopkins' team leads in each category in Sunday's win over the Rams. He tallied 9-94 receiving on 13 looks. Hopkins led with 14 targets, catching 10 balls for 98 yards. RB James Conner (3) and WR A.J. Green (2) were the only other Cardinals to catch more than 1 pass. It was Moore's 3rd straight game with at least 7 receptions. Next comes a 49ers defense that has played the run tougher than the pass this season.

Cardinals RB James Conner ran for 69 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Rams, adding 17 yards on 3 receptions. He dominated backfield work in his 2nd game back from a 3-week rib injury. RB Keaontay Ingram claimed the team's only other RB carry. No other Cardinals RB drew a target in the game. Conner gets another tough rushing matchup with the 49ers in Week 11, but the kind of work volume he got Sunday will make him a weekly starter for most fantasy football teams going forward. Eno Benjamin was active but didn't get a touch in the game.
