Cardinals quarterback Drew Stanton practiced Tuesday, though Blaine Gabbert also took some reps with the starters, Bruce Arians said via Darren Urban of the team website.
Arians said Stanton, who has a sprained knee, will have “to show he can stay out of harm’s way” to make his third start of the season.
The Cardinals aren’t ruling out Stanton, though.
“Drew is extremely tough,” General Manager Steve Keim said on Arizona Sports 98.7. “He’s the type of guy I would not bet against.”
The Cardinals signed Matt Barkley in case Stanton can’t go.
We had a story earlier today from ESPN that indicated the Cards should just play Gabbert as he has more of a chance to be a factor in the team's future at the position. The Cards feel Stanton gives them the best chance to win but at 4-5 it's going to be a tough climb.
