Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater will not play in his second consecutive game on Sunday against Green Bay. The Packers, on the other hand, are happy to have wide receiver Christian Watson and cornerback Jaire Alexander back.
The Cardinals announced that Prater is inactive due to a knee injury, which also kept him out of last week’s 24-23 win against San Francisco. Chad Ryland has been promoted from the practice squad again to fill in for Prater.
In the game against the 49ers, Prater made 3 out of 4 field goals, including a 35-yarder that helped secure the win with 1:37 left on the clock. His only miss was blocked and returned for a touchdown.
The Packers (3-2) confirmed that Alexander, who missed two games due to a groin issue, and Watson, who was out last week with an ankle injury, are both active for this game.
Inactive players for the Packers include defensive lineman Brenton Cox Jr., offensive tackles Andre Dillard and Travis Glover, tight end John FitzPatrick, and defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt, who is missing his second game as he recovers from an ankle injury.
For the Cardinals, joining Prater on the inactive list are cornerback Darren Hall, linebackers Victor Dimukeje and Xavier Thomas, and tight end Travis Vokolek.
