Arizona Cardinals inactives: Emari Demercado, Walter Nolen return

[ASFN Admin]

The Arizona Cardinals enter Week 15 with a lot of injuries as they take on the Houston Texans. Ninety minutes before their 1 p.m. ET kickoff from NRG Stadium, the Cardinals announced their inactive list.

All seven of the players who would not dress were out with injuries. They had an eighth player ruled out — defensive lineman Bilal Nichols — but he was placed on injured reserve on Saturday.

Two players — running back Emari Demercado and rookie defensive lineman Walter Nolen — return to the lineup. Demercado missed the last three games with a high ankle sprain. Nolen missed the last two with a knee injury.
