Cardinals WR Boldin misses practice

Dec 17, 2008 - 11:01 PM GLENDALE, Arizona (Ticker) -- Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowl wide receiver Anquan Boldin missed Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury, putting his status for this week's game in question.

Boldin, who was named to his third career Pro Bowl on Tuesday, leads the NFL with 11 touchdowns. The injury appears to be new, as it was not previously reported.

Boldin hopes to be ready for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots but may be held out as a precaution since the Cardinals (8-6) already have clinched the woeful NFC West.

Boldin has 89 catches for 1,038 yards.
