Cardinals face tough choices on which veterans to keep
The Arizona Cardinals have some tough choices ahead in trying to decide which veterans to keep as they push for a playoff berth for the first time since 2015MARCH 12, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Productive with starting gig Kirkpatrick tallied 56 tackles (53 solo), seven pass defenses and three interceptions in 14 contests during the 2020 season.
Impact The Bengals cut Kirkpatrick back in March, and he waited until an opportunity arose for his next destination. When the Cardinals lost No. 2 cornerback Robert Alford to a torn pectoral during training camp, they scooped up Kirkpatrick to bolster their secondary. By Week 5, Kirkpatrick usurped Byron Murphy in the starting lineup and didn't look back, aside from missing two games due to injury. An unrestricted free agent in the offseason, the 31-year-old may be an option to return to Arizona, considering how the organization proceeds with long-time Card and fellow UFA Patrick Peterson.

All clear for Week 16 Kirkpatrick (hamstring/calf) is active for Saturday's game against the 49ers.
Impact The veteran cornerback has just one game absence on the season, and he'll have an opportunity to help push Arizona to its first playoff appearance in five years with a Week 16 win. Kirkpatrick has three interceptions on the 2020 campaign, and he's containing opponents to a sub-83.0 passer rating for the second time in three years.

Handed questionable tag for Week 16 Kirkpatrick (hamstring/calf) is considered questionable going into Saturday's matchup against the 49ers after being held out of Thursday's practice session, Darren Urban of the Car...
Impact Kirkpatrick was unable to participate throughout the entire practice week, but there remains a chance for him to suit up Week 16 after he proved capable of fighting through his hamstring injury last Sunday in a win over Philadelphia. An absence from Kirkpatrick would spell more opportunities for 2019 second-round draft choice Byron Murphy, who hasn't started since Week 10.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Kirkpatrick (hamstring) was held out of Wednesday's practice.
Impact Kirkpatrick also missed last Wednesday's practice due to the hamstring injury, but he logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday before suiting up in Sunday's win over the Eagles. However, Arizona is currently on a short week -- they play San Francisco on Saturday -- making Wednesday's DNP a bit more concerning. Kirkpatrick has amassed 53 tackles (50 solo) this season and is tied for the team lead with three interceptions.

Active Week 15 Kirkpatrick (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus Philadelphia.

Tagged as questionable Kirkpatrick (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Following an absence from Wednesday's practice, Kirkpatrick strung together consecutive limited sessions to close out the week. If he's not given the green light this week, both Byron Murphy and Kevin Peterson will receive increased duties against rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Upgraded Thursday Kirkpatrick (hamstring) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Kirkpatrick missed Wednesday's practice with the hamstring issue, but it's a good sign that he was able to practice in some capacity Thursday. It's still unlikely that the veteran will miss Sunday's game against the Eagles, but his practice status Friday should paint a clearer picture. Byron Murphy and Kevin Peterson still stand to gain an uptick in snaps should Kirkpatrick miss any game action.

Sits out Wednesday Kirkpatrick missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Kirkpatrick popped back up on the injury report Wednesday with the hamstring injury that hampered him earlier in the season. The veteran has missed just one game this campaign, racking up 51 tackles (48 solo), seven pass break ups and three interceptions in 12 games. If Kirkpatrick were forced to miss Sunday's game against the Eagles, Byron Murphy and Kevin Peterson would be in line for an uptick in snaps in the secondary.

Dealing with hamstring injury Kirkpatrick was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report with a hamstring injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact The veteran cornerback played 63 defensive snaps during Sunday's win over the Bills after being listed as questionable with a thigh injury, and the fact he was estimated as limited indicates the hamstring issue isn't a serious concern. Kirkpatrick could avoid an injury designation for Thursday's game at Seattle if he can practice fully in the next couple days.

Impact Kirkpatrick will return after missing last week's loss to the Dolphins.

Likely to play Week 10 Kirkpatrick (thigh), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Kirkpatrick was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, but he looks like he'll be ready to return from a one-game absence and reclaim a starting role Week 10. Expect the Cardinals' top cornerback, Patrick Peterson, to spend most of the day matching up with Stefon Diggs, leaving Kirkpatrick to follow John Brown.

Questionable for Week 10 Kirkpatrick (thigh) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Kirkpatrick wasn't able to suit up against the Dolphins last weekend, but he's since managed to resume practicing and has logged three limited sessions. If he's able to get the green light and play Sunday, the veteran cornerback's presence will provide Arizona's secondary with a notable boost against Buffalo's dangerous receiving corps.

Limited practice status Kirkpatrick was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.
Impact Kirkpatrick didn't practice last week before missing Week 9 against the Dolphins, so the fact that he was limited is a positive sign. Kirkpatrick was deemed day-to-day Monday, so expect his practice availability throughout the week to shed a light on his chances to suit up in Sunday's game against Buffalo.
