Boldin practices, hopes to play against Carolina

Anquan Boldin returned to practice for the Arizona Cardinals on Monday, just
over three weeks after he was injured on a vicious hit by the New York Jets’
Eric Smith.

“I’m feeling good enough to put a helmet back on now,” he said after the light workout.

The standout wide receiver was scheduled to see the doctor on Tuesday and hoped to gain medical clearance to play Sunday, when the Cardinals are at Carolina.

“I feel like I’m ready to go,” he said. “That’s what I’ve been working toward these past couple of weeks, getting back on the field after the bye week.”

Boldin underwent surgery to repair a sinus fracture and wasn’t able to eat solid food until about a week ago. He said he lost 10 pounds, but regained it when he was able to return to eating solid foods and lifting weights. FULL STORY
