Cardinals expect Tyrann Mathieu (shoulder) to return versus Atlanta

Arizona Cardinals defensive back Tyrann Mathieu (shoulder) has "a good chance" of returning this week against the Atlanta Falcons, according to general manager Steve Keim.

What It Means:

The Cardinals also expected Mathieu to play in Week 11, but he was inactive after being limited in practice all week. If he can get in a full session prior to this Sunday's matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, we expect him to return after a two-week absence.

With Mathieu unavailable, the Cardinals gave up 0.13 Net Expected Points to Sam Bradford in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
