Arizona Cardinals injury report: Trey Benson, Max Melton downgraded

The Arizona Cardinals returned to the practice field on Thursday to get ready for their Week 13 road matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and released their second injury report of the week.

They had four changes — two upgrades and two downgrades. Eight players sat out Thursday’s practice, while another seven were listed as limited participants.

Who all was on Thursday’s injury report? The full details are below.
