An MCL sprain seems to be keeping Arizona Cardinal receiver Larry Fitzgerald from the teams divisional matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

According to a tweet from national insider for NFL Network Ian Rapoport, the 10-year veteran will miss the big game in which his Cardinals could help push the former Super Bowl champion Seahawks to a 6-5 record.

Fitzgerald missed practice this week, but his coach didn’t seem to mind it, saying that,  “Practice at his age is overrated sometimes. Sometimes it can be good for you. But we’ll see if he can capably play on Sunday at the game.”

If the Cardinals were to have to play without Fitzgerald they would be missing out on their top receiver by almost 200 yards and the guy they target on about 20 percent of their throws. So it would be a huge blow, especially as they play one of the best secondary squads in the game at their home stadium.

The Cardinals and Seahawks kickoff at 4:05 P.M. ET and Fitzgerald could still play, but the likelihood is very slim and if he were, he could have a lot of trouble trying to find ways to move around and catch some balls. However, the Cardinals would love to have everyone playing on the field this afternoon to try and seal their third division win.
