Murray, Hopkins out vs. Panthers

The Arizona Cardinals will once again be without quarterback Kyler Murray and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

Arizona deemed the star duo inactive for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, marking the pair's second straight week on the sideline. Murray has been bothered by an ankle injury while Hopkins has been battling a hamstring ailment.

Both players struggled to ramp up their practice participation ahead of Sunday's game; Murray was limited Friday, and Hopkins didn't take part at any point through the week.

The Cardinals managed to secure a Week 9 victory without Murray and Hopkins, cruising to a 31-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Colt McCoy started under center while Christian Kirk led the team in receiving.

McCoy will once again be tasked with leading Arizona's offense in Sunday's bout against the Panthers.

The Cardinals own the best record in the NFL at 8-1.
