Arizona Cardinals injury update before matchup with Rams
Summary

The Arizona Cardinals face a challenging situation ahead of their game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Rookie safety Wydett Williams is sidelined with a concussion and will not be cleared to play this week, according to head coach Mike LaFleur. This leaves the team's depth tested, with only Budda Baker and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson available at safety. On a positive note, Kitan Crawford has been designated to return from injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury in Week 1. He has started his 21-day practice window but has yet to be activated for the game. The Cardinals aim to bolster their secondary as they prepare for the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.
