Cardinals' Bilal Nichols: Not playing Sunday
Nichols (personal) has been ruled out for Arizona's matchup versus the Colts on Sunday.
Nichols was a late addition to the injury report and will now miss his fifth game of the season. With Darius Robinson (pectoral) out as well, Dante Stills is in line to get the start at defensive end alongside Josh Sweat for Sunday's game.

Cardinals' Bilal Nichols: Good to go against Tennessee
Nichols (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Nichols started the season on the reserve/PUP list due to a neck injury from the 2024 season, but he was reinstated Saturday and has been cleared to make his 2025 debut against Tennessee. He could see a healthy dose of snaps at defensive end in his first game back due to Darius Robinson being inactive with a pectoral injury.

Cardinals' Bilal Nichols: Activated off PUP list
The Cardinals activated Nichols (neck) off the reserve/PUP list Saturday.
Nichols has been sidelined since July but is now one step closer to returning. The 2018 fifth-round pick was a limited participant in all three of the team's practice sessions this week and is currently listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Titans. If Nichols ends up playing, he could start at defensive end, as Darius Robinson has already been ruled out with a pectoral injury.

Cardinals' Bilal Nichols: Questionable for Week 5
Nichols (neck) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Nichols' 21-day practice window opened Monday, and the 2018 fifth-rounder was a limited in all three sessions this week. He has a chance to be activated from the reserve/PUP list ahead of Sunday's game, but if he's not cleared to play, his next chance to suit up is Week 6 against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 12. Nichols' return would boost a Cardinals defensive front that will be without 2024 first-rounder Darius Robinson (pectoral) for Week 5.

Cardinals' Bilal Nichols: Unable to practice
Nichols (neck) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Nichols had his 2024 season cut short by a stinger, but he was able to practice in OTAs heading into training camp. It's unclear if he's suffered a setback, but regardless, he won't begin camp on the practice field.

Cardinals' Bilal Nichols: Participating in OTAs
Nichols is participating in OTAs and appears healthy again after a neck injury ended his 2024 season after six games, Jess Root of USA Today reports.
The defensive tackle started five of those six games after signing a three-year, $21 million free-agent contract with the Cardinals in March of last year. Nichols has started 89 of the 102 games he's played in across seven seasons with the Bears, Raiders and Cardinals. His role with Arizona this year, though, appears in question after the team drafted a defensive tackle, Walter Nolen, in the first round and signed two others, Calais Campbell and Dalvin Tomlinson, in free agency.
