The Arizona Cardinals will head into Sunday’s home opener against the Seattle Seahawks with one key defender already ruled out and six more players listed as questionable after Friday’s final practice report.
Slot corner Garrett Williams is set to miss his second straight game because of an Achilles issue. On top of that, the Cardinals are waiting on several important pieces, including starting guards Isaiah Adams and Isaac Seumalo, along with nose tackles Roy Lopez and Andrew Billings.
Lopez’s status got a small boost late in the week. He opened Wednesday as limited, did not practice Thursday, then returned to limited work Friday.
Here’s how the Cardinals’ Week 2 report shook out:
Ruled out
CB Garrett Williams (Achilles): LIM, LIM, LIM
Questionable
*RG Isaiah Adams (knee): LIM, LIM, LIM
NT Andrew Billings (knee): NS, LIM, LIM
*NT Roy Lopez (groin): LIM, DNP, LIM
*CB Max Melton (ankle): LIM, LIM, LIM
*LG Isaac Seumalo (shoulder): DNP, LIM, LIM
S Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (ribs): LIM, LIM, LIM
The Seahawks also submitted their final injury report, and they’ll be without starting quarterback Sam Darnold and safety Ty Okada. Darnold was listed as a full DNP all week because of a glute injury, while Okada had the same practice pattern with a hamstring issue.
Seattle also has one starter in question in right guard Anthony Bradford, who went from limited work early in the week to a DNP on Friday. Safety Nick Emmanwori is questionable after being limited all three days.
The rest of Seattle’s report includes several players with no game status designation: wide receiver Tory Horton, corner Josh Jobe, tackle Josh Jones and wide receiver Cooper Kupp. Horton and Jobe were full participants all week, Jones moved from limited to full by Friday, and Kupp went from limited on Wednesday to full the next two days.

Mack Wilson Sr. Gives Cardinals Defense A Different Feel For Seattle
Mack Wilson Sr. is expected to be part of a Cardinals defense that looks a little different heading into another meeting with Seattle, especially after the group put together a strong showing in the win over the Chargers. Wilson was not available when Arizona lost to the Seahawks last season, and his presence this time gives the defense another layer as it tries to carry over the energy from that performance into an important NFC West matchup.
Seattle comes in with some recent offensive issues, which puts even more on Arizonas defense to keep the pressure on and make the most of its current momentum. For the Cardinals, the challenge is less about rediscovering what worked against Los Angeles and more about proving it can travel into a division game where the details tend to matter just as much as the game plan.

Cardinals Fans Will Notice One Big Change At State Farm Stadium
State Farm Stadium is getting a fresh gameday menu for the 2026 season, and Cardinals fans will have plenty to chew on before kickoff. Executive Chef Sean Kavanaugh and Craft Culinary Concepts are rolling out a new lineup of items for the teams nine home games, with dishes spread across specific sections of the stadium so the changes should be hard to miss.
The menu leans into variety, from the Beef Birria Machete quesadilla and BBQ Brisket Burger to a Sonoran Style Seattle Dog, along with gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options. For a fan base that spends a lot of time thinking about what happens on the field, this is the kind of off-field upgrade that can shape the whole game-day experience, even if the bigger rollout still leaves room for more to come.

Cardinals Have A Halftime Problem That Could Decide Seahawks Game
Through one half in Seattle, the Cardinals have been right where they need to be on the scoreboard, tied 7-7 in a game that has already exposed some familiar stress points. Arizona has gotten useful snaps from both sides of the ball, but the bigger issue has been control at the line of scrimmage, where the run game and run support have not consistently matched the moment against a divisional opponent.
The second half may come down to whether Arizona leans into a heavier look and tries to change the flow before the Seahawks do. Using more 13 personnel and tight end-heavy packages could help the Cardinals steady the front, tighten up their offense, and keep the game from being decided by the same kind of trench battle that has already made this one feel like a toss-up.
