As the Cardinals began their final significant workout in advance of Sunday’s game vs. Seattle, their current starting quarterback was not among those practicing.
According to Darren Urban of AzCardinals.com, Drew Stanton was not taking part in drills during the portion of practice open to media. Instead, the quarterback donned a baseball cap and watched the proceedings off the side.
Stanton, who sprained the ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Cardinals’ Week 15 win at St. Louis, went through a limited practice on Thursday. However, given the nature of his injuries, his participation for Sunday has always seemingly been in doubt.
Ryan Lindley will start if Stanton is held out, with rookie Logan Thomas in reserve.
The Cardinals (11-3) have already clinched a playoff spot. They will win the NFC West and earn homefield advantage throughout the conference playoffs with a victory over Seattle (10-4).
