Won't feature Sunday Vallejo (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site.
Impact Vallejo didn't play in Week 6 against Cleveland but logged at least 35 percent of the snaps in each of his last three games. However, he's been ruled out against the Seahawks and will miss his second game of the campaign. The former Boise State standout has not played more than 50 percent of the snaps in any single contest, though, so his absence shouldn't affect Arizona's defensive plan considerably.
