Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt stopped short Wednesday of saying a player who doesn't practice during the week won't play on Sunday, but made it clear he's not crazy about the idea. Two offensive starters, receiver Anquan Boldin and right tackle Levi Brown, didn't play Sunday and sat out Wednesday's practice. Boldin's hip injury is improving, as is Brown's ankle, but both are expected to be at least questionable for Sunday's game in St. Louis. "I believe you need to practice, no matter who you are," Whisenhunt said. "Not only for yourself but for the team, too, because of the timing with the other guys."
