Boldin Misses Wednesday's Practice

Pro Bowl wide receiver Anquan Boldin is sitting out his second straight practice Wednesday with a strained left hamstring, working out on the side, and his availability for Saturday night's game in Charlotte, N.C., against the Carolina Panthers remains unclear.

The Cardinals usually don't provide detailed injury information, and Boldin's status probably won't be determined until shortly before Saturday's 6:15 p.m. kickoff.

Boldin was working on agility drills with a team trainer late this morning.

He suffered the injury during a 71-yard touchdown catch in last Saturday's victory over the Falcons. He had missed the previous two games because of a shoulder injury.

Boldin was not available for comment.

100% he will be in the game, plus theres been many other times teams seemed to play up a players chance of not playing, only for them to come out strong. arizona will be running full speed against us, but still won't be able to handle us again.

i just hope the giants or eagles are ready for a big letdown come the title game.

In an interview just a few hours ago, Dansby said that he saw Q in the training room and he looked fine. Not 100% obviously, but I think you guys need to know that Anquan will play. Even if he sneaks by putting on some backup special teamers jersey and running onto the field against orders, he'll play.

I'm just upset that he ain't 100%, because I know we need to bring our A game to Charlotte, and without his versatility, that cuts a chunk out of our playbook.

Dude's gonna play, I know it. And it's no coincidence that the coach doesn't talk about injuries, but this story just happened to slip out. It's a chess move in the mental game that leads up to the real game on Saturday. I'm sure we're gameplanning for him.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
