Arizona Cardinals rookie tight end Tip Reiman and safety Joey Blount are active for their team’s season opener on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.

Both entered the weekend as questionable.

Reiman was a limited participant throughout the week of practice with an ankle injury. The 2024 third-rounder is expected to have a meaningful role as Arizona’s primary blocking tight end across from playmaker Trey McBride.

Blount picked up a back injury during the week after getting a full workload in on Wednesday. He did not participate Thursday before practicing in a limited capacity on Friday.

The safety has been mainly used as a special teamer since joining the Cardinals last season. He appeared in 11 games for Arizona in 2023.

Outside of those two and Xavier Weaver, who will not play Sunday due to an oblique issue, the Cardinals did not have any other players on the Week 1 injury report.

Which Cardinals are inactive for Week 1?

Those not suiting for the Cardinals in Week 1 include Weaver, cornerback Darren Hall, linebacker Jesse Luketa, offensive lineman Jon Gaines II and tight end Travis Vokolek.

As for the Bills, safety Cole Bishop, linebackers Joe Andreesen and Eddie Ulofoshio, defensive ends Javon Solomon and Dawuane Smoot and offensive linemen Sedrick Van-Pran Granger and Ryan Van Demark.

The Cardinals take on the Bills at 10 a.m. Catch all the action on the Arizona Sports app, 98.7 and ArizonaSports.com.
