As Mr. Florio told you during yesterday’s wrap-up of the Friday injury reports, Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin is listed as questionable because of a hamstring injury.
Of course, Boldin’s middle name might as well be questionable because of how rarely he’s guaranteed to be a part of the Arizona offense. So what’s this week’s version?
Based on comments from Boldin on Friday, it sounds like he’s leaning toward being on the sidelines.
“I don’t want to do anything at this juncture to set it back ... You don’t want to risk getting injured and then being out four weeks,” Boldin said. “That would be stupid. It’s a long season. It’s only Week 1. I’d rather sit out game one as opposed to sitting out four or five other games.”
Coach Ken Whisenhunt had a similar comment when asked about Boldin’s status for the game, although he held out hope that the wideout could “push through this game and not have any issues.” The issue probably won’t be decided until the Cardinals have to declare their inactives on Sunday afternoon, but it doesn’t sound like Boldin’s quite ready to go yet.
