After a great start with two wins in two games, the Arizona Cardinals were dealt a small blow when their WR DeAndre Hopkins suffered a small rib injury. He missed practice for the Cardinals all week but reports early Sunday morning state that he will be playing against the Jacksonville Jaguars. As NFL Networks' Ian Rapoport reported, Hopkins is still questionable, but he should be featured in the game.
#AZCardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins is questionable with a rib injury, but history shows he almost always plays. As one source close to him said, “Have you ever known him to miss a game?” Hopkins will attempt to play though the injury.

Here is what one source said about Cardinals’ WR DeAndre Hopkins, who is questionable for Sunday due to a rib injury: “Pretty confident he will play, but not 100 (percent he will).”

Hopkins was known in the past for playing under injuries as well. He only missed two games overall in his career, so the general opinion was that he will be playing against the Jaguars.
Overall, the two teams taking the field have had diametrically different starts to their seasons. On one hand, the Cardinals have two wins, as they beat out Tennessee Titans in Week 1 and won a close game against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. The Jaguars, on the other hand, have two losses. They lost to the Houston Texans in Week 1 and the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Most predictions have the Cardinals winning this game, so the Jaguars will have a tough task ahead of them.
