Another DNP on Friday Hopkins (undisclosed) didn't see the field during Friday's preseason loss to the Chiefs, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Hopkins hasn't been on the practice field much during training camp and even missed all the sessions leading up to Friday's exhibition, his second DNP this month. However, he doesn't need many reps to be ready for Week 1, when he'll still have Kyler Murray under center and a refurbished receiving corps around him, namely A.J. Green, Christian Kirk and rookie Rondale Moore. Despite the increased competition for targets, Hopkins is the unquestioned No. 1 WR in Arizona after putting up a 115-1,407-6 line in his first year with the team in 2020.

Misses another practice Hopkins (undisclosed) isn't practicing Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Hopkins missed practice last Wednesday and now has missed three consecutive sessions since Friday's preseason win over the Cowboys. Nagging injuries have been part of the package for a few years now, but we'll start to take notice if he still isn't back at practice by next week. An appearance in Friday's preseason game against Kansas City seems unlikely.

Unlikely to play Friday Hopkins (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Friday's preseason contest versus the Cowboys, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Per usual, Hopkins has received a veteran day off in training camp while also missing the occasional practice with an unspecified injury. Assuming he sits, he likely will be joined by Kyler Murray and A.J. Green (undisclosed), who also are in street clothes ahead of Friday's kickoff. Meanwhile, rookie second-rounder Rondale Moore (undisclosed) participated in pregame warmups, giving him a good shot to see a lot of reps in his potential pro debut.

Misses practice with minor issue Hopkins missed Wednesday's practice with a minor injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hopkins missed a practice or two in late July with a minor injury, and he received a veteran's day off last Thursday. The Cardinals haven't been able to keep any of their wide receivers on the practice field consistently, with A.J. Green, Christian Kirk and Rondale Moore battling various unspecified injuries and Andy Isabella now landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list for a second time. Hopkins provides stability, regardless of his practice participation.

Rested for a day Hopkins had a veteran's day off Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Hopkins missed a practice last week with a minor undisclosed injury, but his latest absence has been chalked up to rest/maintenance. He's been in and out of practice for a few years now, typically playing through one lower-body injury or another without showing any ill effects. Hopkins has missed only two games in eight pro seasons, and he's played more than 90 percent of his team's offensive snaps in each of the last seven.

AUGUST 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Hopkins sat out Thursday's practice with a minor unspecified issue, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact With coach Kliff Kingsbury indicating that the star wideout will be back on the field soon, we'll view Hopkins as day-to-day. Heading into the coming season, Hopkins heads an Arizona WR corps that also includes A.J. Green, Christian Kirk, Rondale Moore and KeeSean Johnson.

Gets more reps with Murray Hopkins was able to build on-field chemistry with quarterback Kyler Murray during the Cardinals' offseason program, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Murray was banged up at the end of last year, but he and Hopkins returned healthy for the start of the offseason program, participating in both voluntary OTAs and mandatory minicamp. The 29-year-old wideout accounted for 29.4 percent of Arizona's targets last season, ranking third in the NFL with 1,407 receiving yards and tied for second with 115 receptions. A better rushing attack or a bounce-back season from offseason acquisition A.J. Green could cost Hopkins a few targets this year, but he's still among the handful of favorites to lead the league in the category.
