Cardinals KR/RB LaRod Stephens-Howling (hamstring) missed practice Wednesday. | ||||||
Stephens-Howling told reporters afterwards that he "hoped" to play Sunday, "but certainly wasn't sounding sure of it." If he isn't able to play against the Chiefs, Tim Hightower and Beanie Wells would share the backfield. | ||||||

Cardinals KR/RB LaRod Stephens-Howling's hamstring injury is being described as a "strain." | ||||||
Beat writer Kent Somers predicts that the Cards will be "extra cautious" with Stephens-Howling this week, probably holding him out of most practice work. A useful third-down back and even better special teamer, "Hyphen" ranks fifth in the NFL in kick return average and has brought back two for scores. | ||||||

LaRod Stephens-Howling left Sunday's game in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. | ||||||
"Hyphen" took the opening kickoff back 51 yards and caught one pass for 13 yards before exiting. With Beanie Wells (knee) inactive, Tim Hightower will see a heavy workload the rest of the way. | ||||||
| Sun Oct 31 2010 | 20:55 | Stephens-Howling bruises ribs in loss | ||||
Cardinals RB/KR La'Rod Stephens-Howling revealed that he bruised his ribs in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. | ||||||
"Hyphen" -- as he's been nicknamed in Arizona -- insisted that he'll be fine. Stephens-Howling was used as Arizona's change of pace back for Beanie Wells Sunday, carrying four times for 41 yards and a touchdown. The return specialist only had 17 offensive touches all year entering the game. | ||||||

| Tue Sep 14 2010 | 08:23 | Stephens-Howling's touches up in the air | ||||
Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt admitted that he's not sure how many touches LaRod Stephens-Howling will get once Beanie Wells is back. | ||||||
He'll get very few, that's how many. Stephens-Howling played well in Week 1, and Whisenhunt did add that "we can all see why that's important (to get Stephens-Howling touches)," but there simply won't be much to go around once Beanie is back, which will likely be in Week 2. | ||||||

| Sun Sep 12 2010 | 20:13 | Stephens-Howling nets 65 yards in win | ||||
LaRod Stephens-Howling gained 49 yards on seven carries and 16 yards on three receptions in the Cardinals' Week 1 win. | ||||||
Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt hinted in early August that Stephens-Howling might play a larger role in the club's offense this season and those hints came to life Sunday in St. Louis. This all should change when Beanie Wells returns, possibly as soon as next week, but the 23-year-old out of Pitt is worth monitoring in case there are injuries on the depth chart above him. | ||||||
| Wed Aug 4 2010 | 11:20 | Whiz sees bigger role for Stephens-Howling | ||||
Coach Ken Whisenhunt envisions a larger role for LaRod Stephens-Howling this year. | ||||||
Whisenhunt apparently has some tricks up his sleeve involving Stephens-Howling, because the coach hinted that we won't see much of the speedy scatback in the preseason. Stephens-Howling will be a bigger part of the game plan each week and could end up eating into Tim Hightower's passing-down snaps. | ||||||
