Darius Robinson, the first-round choice of the Arizona Cardinals, returned to limited practice on Wednesday but was demoted to a non-participant on Thursday in advance of Sunday’s game at the Green Bay Packers.
After starting the season on the injured reserve, it is unclear if the transfer was a setback or if the team is taking it slow when he returns from a calf injury.
Wednesday marked the start of his 21-day practice window with the Cardinals, following his five-game absence due to a calf injury. During the open portion of practice, Robinson talked with the trainer and stretched, but he largely observed defensive line drills while wearing his helmet.
After playing all out on Wednesday, Zay Jones—who had been out for five games—was reduced to limited. He now has a hamstring issue on his list. The team dismissed veteran receiver Chris Moore, but Jones will not be available for action until a roster exemption is lifted.
On the injury report released on Thursday, Arizona added Jesse Luketa, the backup pass rusher, (shoulder) and starting defensive tackle Bilal Nichols (finger) as limited participants.
Garrett Williams, the cornerback, returned to work in a restricted capacity after missing Week 5 due to a groin injury.
Guard Isaiah Adams was back practicing exercises with the offensive linemen, while offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum worked out off to the side.
