Cardinals' Matt Prater: Won't return Sunday
Matt Prater (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Carolina, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.Since the Arizona Cardinals designated Prater for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he managed three consecutive limited practices, but it wasn't enough for him to get back on the active roster for Week 16 action. He'll thus miss his 12th straight game due to a torn left meniscus, while Chad Ryland will continue to operate as Arizona's placekicker.

Cardinals' Matt Prater: Practice window opens
Head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Matt Prater (knee) will be designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Arizona Cardinals' official site reports.Prater will resume practicing with Arizona for the first time since Week 6 after undergoing surgery in October to address a meniscus tear in the knee of his left plant leg. The transaction opens a 21-day window wherein Prater can be evaluated, so the Cardinals won't have to add the veteran kicker to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game in Carolina if they're not yet convinced he's 100 percent. While Prater has been sidelined for the Cardinals' past 10 games, Chad Ryland has stepped in as the team's kicker and has converted 22 of 26 field-goal tries and 18 of 18 extra-point attempts.

Cardinals' Matt Prater: Not likely to play Sunday
Matt Prater (knee) is listed as questionable but is considered unlikely to play in Sunday's game at Green Bay, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.The writing was on the wall for Prater to miss a second straight game when Arizona elevated kicker Chad Ryland from the practice squad Saturday. Though an official decision on Prater's status won't be made until Arizona posts its inactive list 90 minutes before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, fantasy managers should already begin to start looking at other options at kicker for Week 6. Prater managed to log a trio of limited practices during the week, and if he sits out Sunday as expected, he'll aim to return to action for a Monday night matchup with the Chargers in Week 7.
