Cardinals QB Rosen out Thursday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen will not play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Denver Broncos, according to an NFL Network report Wednesday.

Rosen, whom the team traded up to take 10th overall in April's draft, missed the team's third preseason game with a thumb injury on his right (throwing) hand. He injured the thumb last week when his hand hit a teammate's helmet in practice.

Head coach Steve Wilks told reporters Tuesday that Rosen's status was "still up in the air," while Rosen said he'd like to play if given the green light.

"I think all reps are good reps," Rosen told reporters. "I'd love to take as many as possible."

If the rookie is indeed done for the preseason, Rosen finished with a 55.2 percent completion rate (16 of 29) for 148 yards (5.1 yards per attempt), one touchdown and no interceptions. He was under siege throughout his debut against the Los Angeles Chargers in the opener, before getting the chance to play a bit with the first-team offense against the New Orleans Saints.

Sam Bradford, who joined Arizona for $20 million in free agency, is expected to be the Cardinals' Week 1 starter, but he has missed 48 games in his career due to injury, including 14 last season due to soreness in his surgically repaired left knee.

Mike Glennon, who also joined the team in free agency, has worked as the team's third-stringer and is not assured of a roster spot. He has gone 10 for 17 (58.8 percent) for 46 yards (2.71 per attempt) and an interception in two preseason appearances.
