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.
NFL Inactives, Cardinals vs. Rams: Darnell Dockett active
After missing last week with an injured hamstring, Darnell Dockett is active for the Cardinals on Thursday.


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.
