Latest on J.J. Arrington from FOX:

ARZ RB Arrington Inactive per FOX

Since the Cardinals play a 4 pm game, there will not be official word on J.J. Arrington until later. That's likely too late for most owners.
We are hearing from several sources that J.J. Arrington will be inactive today. Marcel Shipp will get the start and see the bulk of the work. Again, this isn't official but it's what we believe will happen.

I'm not an Arrington owner but I just grabbed Shipp real quick for my bench. You never know....maybe Shipp has a good game against STL.

Sep 17 Cardinals running back J.J. Arrington is battling a stomach illness, but he will play in Sunday's game, reports ESPN.com. He ran for five yards on eight carries last week against the Giants.

Views: Arrington is going to play Sunday. However, after last week's poor performance and the fact Marcel Shipp ended up with more carries against the Giants, J.J. shouldn't be in your lineup.

Sep 17 Despite optimism that he he will play Sunday, Arrington still has the stomach flu and did not practice Friday, the Arizona Republic reports.

Recommendation: We suspect that he will be able to go, but he is being termed a game-time decision. After his shaky debut in Week 1, it's probably best to sit the rookie until he has a break out game.

He's a rookie!!! It would be nice if all hyped rookies came in and blew the doors off in their first game, but it isn't going to happen and, by all means, doesn't signal a bust. Arrington may bust, but I don't think he will and I more than happy to stash him on my bench and wait it out.

Anyone who drops J.J. right now is a fool and deserves public mocking and possibly stoning. This kid is good. It’s like we just forget everything they’ve ever done in the past because they can’t play right away. It’s not like Shipp put up Jones vs. Benson – like numbers here. His job is secure.

I agree, but that said, it might not hurt to pick up Shipp if you could spare a roster spot.
