Cardinals' Tyrann Mathieu: Progressing through shoulder injury
Mathieu is progressing through his shoulder subluxation, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports. "Ty's real close, but I don't know [about Sunday against the 49ers]," head coach Bruce Arians said Tuesday.
Analysis:
Injured in the Cardinals' last game before a Week 9 bye, Mathieu was initially expected to require three to six weeks in order to heal fully. The defensive back whittled down his recovery timetable to a hopeful two to three weeks last Tuesday, and Arians hinted that the best-possible scenario could be a reality. In the end, Mathieu's ability to practice in the coming days will shed light on his potential to play Sunday.
