FOXBOROUGH -- The following Patriots players are inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals: quarterback Brian Hoyer, running back J.J. Taylor, defensive lineman Tashawn Bower, defensive lineman Byron Cowart and wide receiver Isaiah Ford.
There really weren't any surprises, but it does highlight the lack of depth for the Patriots on the defensive line.
With Cowart and Bower out, along with Carl Davis being placed on injured reserve, the team will have just Lawrence Guy, Adam Butler, Isaiah Mack and Akeem Spence, who was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday, up front against Arizona.
Butler missed last week's game in Houston.
Sony Michel and Justin Herron are officially back after coming off injured reserve.
The Patriots come into the game 4-6, while Arizona is 6-4.
