Boldin, Pope listed as questionable for Cardinals

Jan 2, 2009 - 11:44 PM GLENDALE, Arizona (Ticker) -- The Arizona Cardinals expect to have wide receiver Anquan Boldin and tight end Leonard Pope in the lineup for Saturday's NFC wild-card round playoff game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Boldin missed Arizona's last two regular-season games with a shoulder injury but was a full participant in Friday's workout. The Pro Bowler said earlier this week he definitely would play in Arizona's first postseason contest in 10 years.

Boldin, who also missed two games earlier in the season with a concussion and facial fractures, finished second on the Cardinals (9-7) with 89 catches for 1,038 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Pope, who has been slowed by a knee injury, also practiced Friday. Boldin, Pope and defensive end Travis LaBoy (ankle) all have been listed as questionable for Saturday's showdown with the Falcons (11-5).

Safeties Adrian Wilson (toe) and Aaron Francisco (ribs) also practiced Friday and have been listed as probable for Saturday's contest, the franchise's first home playoff game since 1947.
