Kliff Kingsbury Announces DeAndre Hopkins’ Wild Card Status
The 2021 regular season was one full of injury woes for superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. And now as the Arizona Cardinals head into the postseason, it appears those struggles will continue.
On Wednesday, head coach Kliff Kingsbury revealed that Hopkins will be unable to suit up for Monday night’s Wild Card matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Hopkins is still recovering from an MCL injury he suffered during a Week 14 loss to the Rams. He underwent surgery that held him out for the remainder of the regular season — and now possibly the playoffs.
Earlier this year, Hopkins missed three more games with a hamstring injury. The Cardinals are 3-4 in games without their three-time All-Pro wideout this year.
Through 10 games this season, Hopkins collected 42 receptions for a career-low 572 yards and eight touchdowns.
The Cardinals split this year’s regular-season series with the Rams 1-1. Their third and most important matchup will kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday night.
