Dortch not expected to play

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch (thumb) is not expected to play Sunday against the Chargers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That will leave Arizona without its top 2 slot WRs. That leaves target opportunity for TE Trey McBride.

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch led the team in targets (11), receptions (10) and receiving yards (98) in Sunday night's OT loss to the Buccaneers. He and RB James Conner were the only 2 Arizona players to exceed 3 catches with QB Trace McSorley behind center. We'll see whether QB Colt McCoy is back for a Week 17 meeting with the Falcons.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury expressed "optimism" about WR Greg Dortch's chances of returning from his thumb injury for Monday night's game vs. the Patriots, according to insider Darren Urban. Kingsbury reportedly didn't sound optimistic about WR Rondale Moore's status for that one. If Moore is out and Dortch in, Dortch will be a viable WR3 or flex play in PPR leagues.

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch (thumb) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chargers. With WR Rondale Moore (groin) also out, Arizona is down to WRs DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Robbie Anderson and Andre Baccellia.

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.
