Rucker (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Rucker missed Week 6's contest against the Seahawks with a neck injury, but it seems the bye week gave him enough time to heal. Barring a setback, the defensive end will likely resume his starting duties against the Colts on Sunday.

Rucker (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Rucker's Week 6 absence was foreshadowed by failing to practice Wednesday and Thursday, so Arden Key should be busy at defensive end across from Bruce Irving against Seattle.

Rucker (neck) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Rucker returned to practice in a limited capacity Friday, but that may not be enough for him to suit up for Week 6 after missing practice Wednesday and Thurdsay. Rookie Arden Key figures to see a healthy dose of playing time regardless of Rucker's availability, but the former could take on an even more significant role across from Bruce Irvin.

Rucker didn't take part in Wednesday's practice due to a neck injury, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rucker's status was in doubt for Week 5 due to what is likely the same neck issue, but he wound up playing 16 defensive snaps in the contest. It's possible the training staff is holding him out to ensure his health for Week 6, but the final injury report Friday should reveal more about the prospects of him suiting up against the Seahawks.

Rucker (neck) Matt Schneidman of The San Jose Mercury News to Sunday's game against the Chargers, Matt reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rucker suffered a neck injury during the second quarter of Sunday's matchup, but has managed to return to action. Based on his ability to retake the field, it does not appear that Rucker's injury is of long-term significance.

Rucker is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers due to a neck injury, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rucker exited Sunday's game during the second quarter, and has been replaced by Fadol Brown. If Rucker is unable to return to the field, expect an update on the defensive end's health after the conclusion of the Week 5 contest.

Rucker signed a one-year contract with the Raiders on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rucker comes to Oakland after spending five seasons with Arizona, having averaged 21 tackles per season and only once topping three sacks in a single campaign. The Raiders don't have much depth at defensive end, so its possible the 12-year vet could work with the first-team offense right away while star defensive end Khalil Mack holds out for an extension.

Rucker totaled 29 tackles (23 solo) and 1.5 sacks in 16 games for the Cardinals in 2017.
EDGE Analysis
Rucker signed a one-year deal last spring and improved upon his sackless 2016 season. Retirement is certainly a viable consideration for the 34-year-old at this point, and he is likely to be limited to a rotational role if he does return for the 2018 season, which he enters as a free agent.

Rucker had three solo tackles and one sack against the Seahawks on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Rucker has yet to compile over three tackles in a game this season. This kind of game seems to be the ceiling for Rucker, keeping him from fantasy considerations.

Rucker (shin) was a full participant at Tuesday's walk-through.
EDGE Analysis
It appears the Cardinals were exercising caution with Rucker on Monday by only having him practice in limited fashion. His return means he is presumably on track to play Week 10 against the Seahawks assuming he does not suffer any setbacks.
