Cardinals don't mind ho-hum start, feel better things ahead
The standings say the Arizona Cardinals are an average team with a 2-2 recordOCTOBER 3, 2022•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Matt Prater - Dealing with sorenessCardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Prater is considered day to day with general soreness, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ImpactPrater was limited due to a hip issue throughout last week's practices before suiting up for Sunday's win over Carolina, though Kingsbury did not elaborate on the specific body parts where the kicker is feeling sore. The 38-year-old has not missed a regular-season game over the past seven seasons, so these general aches and pains should not be considered much cause for concern. Prater went 30-of-37 on field-goal attempts and made all but two of his 49 extra-point tries with Arizona last season.

ImpactWesley has missed the minimum four games since being placed on IR on Sept. 2. He'll have three weeks to be moved to the active roster, but he can return as soon as Sunday against the Eagles. Wesley was expected to play a significant role early in the season with DeAndre Hopkins serving a suspension, however after suffering an injury of his own that opportunity was put on hold. With Hopkins' return still a couple weeks away, and A.J. Green (knee) uncertain for Week 5, Wesley could see a prominent role Sunday against the Eagles.
