Cardinals Get Huge Marquise Brown Injury Update in Week 11

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown was lighting it up to start the season, especially with DeAndre Hopkins still working his way back from suspension. Then he suffered a foot injury that landed him on the IR after Week 6.

Marquise Brown Injury Update

Brown's injury was at first thought to be potentially season-ending. That notion quickly faded, but he was still expected to miss most of the season.

That changed on Wednesday, however, when the Cardinals unexpectedly opened his 21-day practice window, clearing him to return from the IR.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said there's even a chance that Brown could play on Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers, which would be a remarkable turnaround time.

So while Brown's status for Week 11 is still up in the air, he's getting close to a return. Arizona should be excited to see what the offense looks like with both Hopkins and Brown out there at the same time -- something that hasn't happened yet. With James Conner back from injury as well, the Cardinals could be poised to finally take off in the second half after a rough 4-6 start.

With quarterback Kyler Murray expected to miss MNF, however, Arizona is listed as an 8.5-point home underdog in its NFC West clash against San Francisco on FanDuel Sportsbook's NFL odds.
