GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Tight end Ben Patrick, inside linebacker Gerald Hayes and outside linebacker Chike Okeafor will not play for Arizona against the Seahawks in Week 10.
All three are battling injuries. Pro Bowl special-teams player Sean Morey is also inactive. He has had concussion problems.
The Cardinals can function adequately without Patrick because they are carrying four tight ends on their roster. Former starter Stephen Spach is active, as is Anthony Becht.
Hayes will miss a second consecutive game. Okeafor's absence hurts the most, in my view, because the Cardinals are not very deep at outside linebacker. Okeafor can be one of their better pass rushers.
Herman Johnson, Brandon Keith and Dominique Byrd are also inactive for Arizona.
