Cardinals' McBride Returns to Full Practice

The Arizona Cardinals are preparing for their upcoming game against the New England Patriots with several key players managing injuries. Tight end Trey McBride, a crucial player for the team, returned to full practice participation on Friday despite a knee injury and is expected to play on Sunday. Darius Robinson, previously limited due to a calf injury, has no injury designation and will contribute as a top rotational edge rusher. Punter Blake Gillikin is ruled out with a foot injury, with Michael Palardy stepping up from the practice squad. Running back Emari Demercado and cornerback Elijah Jones are confirmed out, while defensive linemen Roy Lopez and Naquan Jones remain questionable. McBride has been a standout performer since the team's Week 11 bye, making him a potential Pro Bowl candidate this season.
