Inefficient Week 4 performance Hopkins recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 41 yards in a Week 4 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Hopkins continued to command plenty of targets, as he drew 29 percent of Kyler Murray's attempts. Despite hauling in a high percentage of those looks, Hopkins was unable to work deep down the field, with his longest reception going for only 13 yards. While he was able to suit up, Hopkins was held out of practice all week leading up to this contest, which may have hindered his ability to play at his usual explosive level. He'll look to return to form in Week 5 in a matchup against the Jets.

Officially suiting up Sunday Hopkins (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at Carolina.
Impact A non-participant at practice all week due to an ankle injury, Hopkins wrapped it up with his status in question and considered a "game-time decision" by coach Kliff Kingsbury for Sunday's contest. Subsequent reports from both Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noted Hopkins was slated to suit up, barring any setbacks during a pregame workout. Apparently, Hopkins has passed the requisite eye test and will be available versus a Panthers defense that has conceded 8.6 YPT and three touchdowns to wide receivers through three games.

'Pushing to play' Week 4 Hopkins (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, is "pushing to play," but he'll work out prior to the game before the Cardinals decide on his...
Impact Rapoport's report echoes an earlier dispatch from Adam Schefter of ESPN, which relayed that the star wideout is expected to play in the absence of any pregame setbacks. Confirmation of Hopkins' Week 4 status one way or the other will arrive upon the release of the Cardinals' inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Expected to play Week 4 Hopkins (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The 28-year-old was considered a game-time decision by coach Kliff Kingsbury on Friday, but he's apparently likely to play Sunday if he can avoid a pregame setback. Hopkins was unable to practice all week, so it's probably safe to continue to consider him a game-time call, despite the optimistic outlook heading into Sunday.

Listed as questionable Hopkins (ankle), a game-time decision, is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact The official designation was a foregone conclusion once coach Kliff Kingsbury referred to his star wideout as a game-time call. Kingsbury's statement didn't exactly provide clarity, as he first said "if [Hopkins] can go, he'll go", but then mentioned that it was still early in the season and the team wouldn't want to put Hopkins on the field "if he isn't feeling his best," per Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site. Whatever the case, Hopkins was held out of practice all week and now appears truly questionable ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Fellow Cardinals wideout Christian Kirk (groin) is also a game-time decision, so it's possible the team ends up relying on Larry Fitzgerald, Andy Isabella, KeeSean Johnson and Trent Sherfield at wide receiver. The inactive list will be released about 90 minutes prior to kickoff, per usual.

Game-time decision for Sunday Hopkins (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Cardinals kept Hopkins off the practice field throughout the week, but they haven't given up hope he can play in Sunday's game. A 'questionable' designation is all but assured at this point, with the final decision potentially being made just a few hours before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Hopkins leads the NFL in both targets (37) and team target share (35.9 percent), so his presence -- or lack thereof -- is about as important as it gets in terms of both real-football and fantasy-football impact. Fellow Cardinals wideout Christian Kirk (groin) is also a game-time decision.

Not spotted at practice Hopkins (ankle) wasn't present for the open portion of Friday's practice, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Hopkins often played in games without logging much time on the practice field back in Houston, but it's nonetheless concerning to see him absent for a third straight day. This suggests he'll be listed as questionable, at best, when the Cardinals release their final injury report Friday afternoon. They have a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Carolina on Sunday.

No practice reps again Hopkins (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Officially, Hopkins has yet to practice this week, but one session remains for him to make his presence felt. Even if he doesn't, he proved capable of logging little to no practice reps and still suiting up on game day in his previous stop in Houston, so there's a decent chance he can log another DNP and be available Sunday at Carolina. Friday's injury will give the final word on Hopkins' status going into the weekend.
