Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a rib injury, head coach Kliff Kingsbury announced Friday, per Darren Urban of the team's official site.

Although Hopkins hasn't practiced all week, he was able to play all but two snaps in the Week 2 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Cardinals wideout A.J. Green is confident his star teammate will be on the field Sunday.

"Hop don't miss games," Green said Thursday.

If Hopkins were to be sidelined in Week 3, Green and Christian Kirk would lead Arizona's passing attack.

Hopkins, who was third in the NFL with 1,407 receiving yards last season, has racked up 10 catches for 137 yards and three touchdowns so far in 2021.

The Cardinals sit tied atop the NFC West with the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers after winning their first two games.
