The Cardinals defensive line will get a boost Thursday as Darnell Dockett is active for Arizona. Dockett missed last week's game with a hamstring injury.
While the Cardinals will get Dockett back, they will be without starting tight end Todd Heap for the third straight game. Heap is out once again with a knee injury. Arizona will also be without third-down running back and return man LaRod Stephens-Howling, who is out with a hip injury.
The Rams will have two of their biggest offensive weapons against the Cardinals as Danny Amendola and Steven Jackson are both active. Jackson was listed as questionable with a groin injury, but will play against the Cardinals. Rodger Saffold remains out with a knee injury while wide receiver Steve Smith is a healthy scratch for the second straight week. The Rams will also be without defensive end Eugene Sims, who suffered a concussion last week against the Seahawks.
