Cardinals Star Receiver Won't Return For Monday Night Football

The Arizona Cardinals come into their Monday Night Football matchup at Eztadio Azteca in Mexico City against the San Francisco 49ers facing a must-win scenario, which is made a lot harder by the fact that today, they did not activate star wide receiver Hollywood Brown from Injured Reserve, meaning he will not make his NFL return in Week 11.

The Cardinals officially did not activate WR Hollywood Brown for tonight's game. He remains on IR.

Brown hasn't played since October 16 in a game against the Seattle Seahawks when he fractured his foot, and despite a return to practice throughout the week, he wasn't able to get himself back to 100% for the crucial clash against the division rival 49ers. 

Through 6 games in 2022 in his first season with the Arizona Cardinals, Brown hauled in 43 catches for 485 yards and 3 Touchdowns, and while the Cardinals haven't had the team success that they would have hoped for, Brown has been fantastic, and with the recent return of DeAndre Hopkins, when this offence gets fully healthy, it's going to be a very tough one to stop.
