The Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin still has to struggle for some days with the Cardinals as his contract situation remains in flux. To leave or not to leave, that is not really up to his choice.
Boldin’s current contract with the Cardinals will expire at the end of the 2010 season. So the team will make a decision to have a trade of the receiver, to extend the contract or simply keep Boldin with the team through the end of the contract before 2010 season. However, none of the three choices could be easy one.
First of all, a contract extension is most unlikely as Boldin has been feuding with the Cardinals’ front office for years; and to trade him will weaken the Cardinals’ passing game especially after quarterback Kurt Warner retired, and even if they are willing to have a trade, the price they desire could be unacceptable to the other team. So by so far, remaining in Cardinals jersey for 2010 season wins over all the other two possibilities. Boldin may have to wait till the end of his current contract.

Cardinals WR Boldin is trying best to be healthy for Sunday game
The Arizona Cardinals have not made their decision on whether to have wide receiver Anquan Boldin play against the Green Bay Packers for this Sunday’s wild-card game. Missing another practice Friday because of a left high ankle sprain, though, the receiver himself hopes to be available for the game.
Boldin said doctors have been at his house at night “poking and prodding” and he’s had acupuncture treatments. “I’m doing everything within my power to make sure I’m on the field Sunday,” Boldin said. “If I’m not able to go, trust me, it won’t be anything I didn’t do.”
Boldin was hurt in last Sunday’s 33-7 loss to the Packers while staying in the game to help struggling backup quarterback Matt Leinart after most of other starters in Cardinals jerseys were pulled by Coach Ken Whisenhunt earlier. With a career checkered with injuries, the three-time Pro Bowl receiver has already had the experience of playing without practicing the previous week, so it is still worthy expecting what the Cardinals’ final decision might be.

Cardinals WR will hopefully be able to practice Friday
The Arizona Cardinals will play against the New York Giants on Sunday night. Will wide receiver Anquan Boldin wear back his Cardinals jersey and play in the game? It is possible as he was able to do “a lot more” in Thursday’s workout than he did on Wednesday.
Boldin sprained his right ankle in the second quarter of Sunday’s 27-3 victory against the Seahawks at Seattle. He returned to play in the third quarter, and then left the game for good with Arizona comfortably ahead. But he was unable to practice with the team on Wednesday and Thursday.
The wide receiver did go through some work with a trainer on the sideline, and he even did some jogging on Thursday. According to Coach Ken Whisenhunt, there’s a chance the three-time Pro Bowler could participate in practice on Friday.

WR Boldin will probably miss Cardinals third preseason game
The Arizona Cardinals will probably play their third preseason game without wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who skipped Wednesday’s practice with a sore right hamstring.
According to Coach Ken Whisenhunt, Boldin began to feel uncomfortable with the hamstring during practice on Tuesday and an MRI showed that there was no serious injury. But Boldin will still likely miss the Friday night’s preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.
If he was confirmed not to be able to play the game, with wide receiver Steve Breaston also sidelined with a bruise knee, wide receiver Jerheme Urban will have the chance to become backup for Larry Fitzgerald.

RB Tim Hightower is at the top of Cardinals depth chart
Cardinals maven Darren Urban reports on the team’s official website that RB Tim Hightower is at the top of the depth chart. Although a running back is not much useful in the Cardinals as they have QB Kurt Warner, WR Larry Fitzgerald and WR Anquan Boldin, ti is still good for them to have a good running back.
Hightower scored 10 touchdowns last year in one of those games he had 13 rushing yards and 20 receiving yards. What he needs most now may be abundant play time. Cardinals can be better if they consider making full use of the good running backs they already have.
