Head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Blount (ribs) won't play in Saturday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Blount was carted off the field after injuring his ribs during the Cardinals' 36-30 overtime loss to the Panthers this past Sunday. He's mostly served on special teams this season, so his absence won't impact the Cardinals' secondary rotation that much for Saturday's contest. Blount's next opportunity to play will come during Arizona's regular-season finale against San Francisco next weekend.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Blount (ribs) won't play in Saturday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Blount was carted off the field after injuring his ribs during the Cardinals' 36-30 overtime loss to the Panthers this past Sunday. He's mostly served on special teams this season, so his absence won't impact the Cardinals' secondary rotation that much for Saturday's contest. Blount's next opportunity to play will come during Arizona's regular-season finale against San Francisco next weekend.
Blount (ribs) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Blount was carted off the field after suffering a rib injury on a kickoff and will not return to Sunday's game. He's primarily served on special teams this season so his absence won't affect the Cardinals' secondary all that much.
Blount (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports. Blount suffered a hamstring injury in Week 6 against the Packers, but it doesn't appear to be serious since he has been a full practice participant this week. He has primarily played on special teams this year and has accumulated three tackles (one solo) through six regular-season games.
Blount (hamstring) has exited Sunday's game against the Packers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Blount's exit shouldn't impact Arizona's secondary too much unless they suffer any more injuries there. The Virginia product typically only sees work on special teams, with just eight defensive snaps played this season coming into Week 6.
Blount's absence will mark his second straight due to a knee injury. As a result, Andre Chachere and Qwuantrezz Knight will be the available depth options at safety.
