The Arizona Cardinals are calling wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins a game-time decision for Sunday’s matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters today that WR DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) will be a game-time decision.
Christian Kirk, A.J. Green and Rondale Moore could see an uptick in snaps if Hopkins cannot go.

Hopkins missed practice this week with a rib issue. If Hopkins can’t play, it would mean more playing time for A.J. Green, Rondale Moore and Christian Kirk.
As of Thursday, Green was not concerned about Hopkins’ status.“Hop don’t miss games,” Green said. “He’ll be fine.”
