Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, a Pro Bowler in his second season, was out with a bruised left kneecap.

Defensive end Calais Campbell practiced on a limited basis after breaking his left thumb.

All three injuries occurred in the loss to the Packers, the team the Cardinals host in a wild-card playoff game on Sunday.

Boldin was injured while trying to catch a pass over his head from backup quarterback Matt Leinart during the third quarter of the regular-season finale. He was not in pads Wednesday.

Boldin also was injured during last year's postseason run and was inactive for the Cardinals' second-round playoff game at Carolina. He wound up with 14 receptions, including eight in the Super Bowl against Pittsburgh, for 190 yards and one touchdown during their run to the Super Bowl.

Boldin caught 84 passes for 1,024 yards this season. It was the fifth time in seven seasons that Boldin has caught at least 80 passes and gained 1,000 yards receiving.
