Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt told reporters this afternoon that Boldin had a strained hamstring. His status is uncertain for the NFC divisional playoff game, the AP is reporting. A torn hamstring would have finished Boldin's season.
"We'll see how it goes this week," Whisenhunt said.
Boldin was hurt Saturday on a 71-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter of Arizona's 30-24 win over Atlanta.
"When you're dealing with hamstrings, you never know," Whisenhunt said. "I've seen guys that have come back and played a couple of days later. I've seen guys who are out three or four weeks."
Steve Breaston will likely replace Boldin as a starter if he can't go, with Jerheme Urban as the No. 3 receiver. As we reported earlier, that lineup has worked well this season for the Cardinals.
Boldin impressed teammates and fans earlier this season by missing only two games with facial fractures after a brutal collision against the Jets. Cardinals defensive end Bertrand Berry, a guest on the Dan Patrick radio show this morning, told the host that Boldin would be "probable" Saturday if he had an amputated leg.

He'll play. You can bet the farm on that. They'll shoot him up with a few IVs and cortisone and whatever injectable you can think of...he'll be on that field.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he will play, but again, the question is how close he is to 100%.
ReplyDeletei like how, the news here (that's heard here first) is copied from www.azcentral.com the arizona republic's website. Waiting to read any REAL reported news. Anybody can copy !
ReplyDeleteBoldin will play. A strain hamstring is not going to keep in out of this game. Fitzgerald and Boldin will both go over 100 yards and TDs.
ReplyDeleteThey may get a 100 yards and a couple of TD but they still going to lose. Panthers always find away to win
ReplyDeleteHey Dumbass anonymous....how the hell else would we hear about news from Arizona you duchebag? Quit bein such an anal dork. Stay offthis blog wimp.
ReplyDeleteMr duchebag,
ReplyDeleteI like how your newspaper is filled with news about our team. Keep learning about our cardinals because the high flyin show is comin to town on saturday. And please don't even blink, because i don't want you to miss a PANTHER LOST !!!
Maybe to keep things even, we'll rest boldin, and james, and maybe not even run the ball. Maybe we'll just pass all night long. Hopefully that should even things up.
Hey anonym-ass,
ReplyDeleteShut the pie hole and bring your non-winning west coast team to the east coast and watch the ass whipping in person if you feel so confident....we are going to run left and right with "double trouble" and just when you think you have us....ooops...there goes Smitty with the same old lucky catch that Jake seems to throw every game right...guess what...when you do it over and over again it ain't luck...are you really on this post talking about the Cardinals....really....who's freaking scared of the Cardinals....my point...nobody...save your money...turn the game off early....and do what you do best...beat off....or put your mouth around something and babble....it will make more sence...Panther's are going to kill you guys...
Mr keep pounding OFF,
ReplyDeleteI like how us nobodies, get under your skin. We have nothing to lose. Your favorite by 10 points at least. Nobody is scared of us, that's what the falcons thought too. Yeah the ATL falcons who whipped you week 12, remember 45 to 28? yeah, i'd forget that one too. So now ATL is saving their money now. And don't worry, i'm comin to YOUR house!
Oh, and you all are on this blog, talkin about the cardinals. Why don't you talk about the eagles or giants all week instead. Don't worry about us. Buy your tickets for the meadow land now, and to tampa. Cuz come sunday, i'll be laughin at you!
Anon, 5:45 p.m.: News came from the Associated Press, as the post says. (Quote from DE came from Dan Patrick show.) AZcentral does a fine job with their Cards coverage, tho. Thanks for reading.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of your pot shots towards each you guys could be Browns fans. Good Luck to both of you.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait. You guys are the best fans in football!
Anon 9:48PM,
ReplyDeleteyes i have to be excited and happy, look at the last time we won an NFL playoff game! Did u say 1947? that's correct. So i gotta milk this for all it's worth, and have some fun with it. At least i have a mind, not to swear like Mr KEEP POUNDING OFF, and MR DUCHEBAG.
Honest fun.
yawn. let him play. we'll beat the birdies down either way. don't give them an excuse.
ReplyDeletego cats, I know for sure we're gonna have birds for dinner. Paul, llr
ReplyDeleteThis should be the best game this weekend. The preview set it up - as did Atlanta's looking past Arizona to this game. You Panther fans can go ahead and look ahead too, but if your coach and/or team does, they will also be cleaning out their lockers after the game, just like the Falcons did. I know, the Cardinals just won the worst division in the NFL, backed into the playoffs, etc etc, but they beat Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Buffalo etc and nearly beat the Panthers earlier in the year. Some respect is due from both sides. I just hope the game is decided by the players, not by bad calls from the officials. May the best team win, and may that team be the Arizona Cardinals!
ReplyDeleteHey cards fans, the east coast doesn't like you and the cats are aware that you think you can steal one in the east, wrong. Just remember cats 8-0 at home and kards 0-5 in the east during the regular season, huh, huh,huh,...
ReplyDeleteAnonym-ass,
ReplyDeletechirp....chirp...chirp....you must be the mascot as much chirping as you are doing....probably the only way you would come to Charlotte....to be safetly on the field and behind a mask....i like your compassion for your team but it's not working....we did get beat 4 times this year ....on the road...i hear the forecast is for rain...now maybe your boy Warner will have a reason to wear those gloves ...what a joke...your back up might need to be ready if he's not out to late this week partying with the college girls doing beer bongs....hmmmm....Panther's 34 Cards 31...Kasay by a leg....good luck you dipstick....
Mr KEEP POUNDING OFF,
ReplyDeleteYeah, don't worry about us. Worry about the rain, and the mask. Work on your sentences. Keep the run on sentences comin. Panthers by 3 points now huh? Before too long you'll be sayin, "cardinals by 3". Then we'll see who'll be laughin at that joke!
Be careful what you wish for...The Cards have absolutely nothing to lose and I watched the Falcons tighten up when they got behind. Yes, they came back and took the lead, but the defense made a play, and on long drive and the game was over.
ReplyDeleteShould be a great one! The Panthers are good, no question, but the Cards are also in the second round of the playoffs. The same cannot be said of the Patriots, Cowboys, Bucs, Bears, NYJ and the Broncos. GIve your opponent some respect, or they are liable to smack you in the mouth. The Falcons found that out
If anyone recalls the prior matchup between the panthers and the cards.. the cards lost by four points. after leading 17-3. The cardinals loss was a coaching error. if anyone recalls the cards drove down the field twice got in the red zone and went for it on fourth down giving up six points. then in the forth the cards had two turnovers that cost them the game. If coach wiz had settled on those 6 points and the game played ut the same. well the easy math kids 6-4=2..cards win by 2.. Dont look to see Coach Wiz making to many more mistakes like that.
