The Arizona Cardinals are quietly one of the best teams in the NFC, as they sit with a 7-4 record entering Week 12. Arizona can continue to add to the win column with another big win over the Philadelphia Eagles, while they position themselves in the driver’s seat for the second NFC Wild Card spot.

One thing that will help Arizona is the services of running back Andre Ellington, who tweaked a recent knee injury and will now not know about his status for Week 12 until the team makes a game-time decision.

From Cards Chatter on Twitter:

Arians said Andre Ellington (knee) will be game-day decision. Tweaked knee Thursday. Arians said it wasn't serious. #AZvsPHI

Ellington will need to take as much time as possible to rest leading up to Sunday’s match up, but barring another setback he should be good to go.

The good news, however, is that running back Rashard Mendenhall played some of his best football in a Cardinals uniform last weekend, so the team and their fans can hope for the same result.
