TEMPE, Ariz. – Rookie quarterback Logan Thomas will back up starter Drew Stanton on Sunday, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said Friday.

Ryan Lindley, who was signed Tuesday, will be the Cardinals’ third-string quarterback.

In his only appearance of the season, Thomas went 1-for-8 with an 81-yard touchdown pass to Andre Ellington while replacing Stanton in the third quarter at Denver. Thomas has been inactive for the past three games but was active for the five previous games.

Defensive tackle Ed Stinson will miss Sunday’s game against the Lions with a toe injury, Arians also said.

Without Stinson, the defensive line rotation shrinks, but for the second straight game, Arizona will be prepared to compensate heading into the weekend. The rookie out of Alabama played just 12 snaps Sunday against the Rams because of a groin injury.

Expect Kareem Martin’s snaps to increase even more than from the 25 he played last weekend after playing just about eight per game for the four weeks prior. Stinson has 13 tackles this season with three quarterback hits. Martin had eight tackles this year.

Linebacker Desmond Bishop (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday.

Everyone else is probable. Linebacker Lorenzo Alexander (knee) and running back Stepfan Taylor (calf) were upgraded to full participation Friday.
