The Arizona Cardinals released their inactive list for Sunday afternoon's game against the New England Patriots and, luckily, there weren't any surprises. Quarterback John Skelton is the top player on the list, but his status was never in question as the team named Kevin Kolb this week's starter mid-week.

The Cardinals other inactives for the Patriots game are tight end Jim Dray, wide receiver LaRon Byrd, running back William Powell, lineback Jamaal Westerman, offensive guard Senio Kelemete and offensive tackle Pat McQuistan. That means that this week's players listed as questionable on the injury report -- Patrick Peterson, Adrian Wilson and Rashad Johnson -- will likely be a part of the game plan.

The Patriots will be without Shane Vereen, Greg Salas, Alfonzo Dennard, Daniel Fells, Jake Bequette, Justin Francis and Marcus Forston.
