Anquan Boldin missed one game on the way to the Super Bowl last year, and the Cardinals didn’t seem to miss him.
They also didn’t miss him when they put up 51 points against Green Bay last week, which included a breakout game by Early Doucet. Still, the Cardinals would love to have him back and there are signs he could return against the Saints.
Boldin sat out practice Tuesday, but said he felt “a lot better” and “definitely” optimistic that he could play against the Saints. Linebacker Gerald Hayes was also seen with a walking boot on.
The Saints pass rush doesn’t scare anyone, so another shootout could be on tap Saturday.
