Cardinals TE Spach done for season; Boldin's status uncertain
Tempe, AZ (Sports Network) - Arizona Cardinals tight end Stephen Spach is out for the playoffs with a torn knee ligament.
Spach tore his right anterior cruciate ligament while blocking in the second half of Saturday's 33-13 victory over Carolina.
"Stephen Spach has an ACL, so he's going to be done for the season for us," said Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt in his Monday press conference. "Which is unfortunate, because he's been playing pretty good football for us."
The injury leaves the team with two tight ends on the roster: Leonard Pope and Ben Patrick. Pope has been hampered by a sore ankle while Patrick has been struggling with an ongoing knee injury. Whisenhunt, though, said the team will be bringing in another tight end.
Whisenhunt also stated in his press conference that he is unsure if Pro Bowl wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who sat out against the Panthers with a strained left hamstring, will be able play in Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Anquan, we'll see," said Whisenhunt. "Obviously we're a week further along in the process of that hamstring getting better, so hopefully he'll be able to do something this week, but we'll see as the week progresses."

From Article in the Baltimore Sun last night......
"Terrell Suggs has said he won't miss Sunday's AFC championship game, but Ravens coach John Harbaugh today tempered the optimism on his pass-rushing linebacker's injured right shoulder.
At his weekly news conference, Harbaugh said Suggs had a magnetic resonance imaging exam and suggested Suggs' availability against the Pittsburgh Steelers would "be close."
"I'm not going to sit here and say it's positive, or we're happy about it," Harbaugh said. "We'll just see how it goes. It's going to be close. He's going to work real hard to try to get back. That's all we know.""

C-MAN
Pretty much a regular
John Clayton reported today that Suggs may be available in limited pass rushing situations on Sunday, but he will most likely not play the entire game. This is going to be similar to the Boldin injury situation in which you will not know for sure until just before gametime.

Boldin could be effective at less than 100%, in the slot esp. with TE out.
Could easily see that.

Brian Westbrook re-injured his left knee in the Philadelphia Eagles' 23-11 divisional-round victory over the New York Giants but is expected to play against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, the running back told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio on Wednesday.Westbrook said he is dealing with some "extra swelling" in the knee and wouldn't practice Wednesday.
"I'm going to spend more time running in the pool to help the muscles around the knee fire up a little bit better," he said.
Westbrook finished with just 36 yards on 18 carries and had two receptions for 10 yards last weekend.
