The Arizona Cardinals ruled out safety Tyrann Mathieu out for Sunday’s game at the Miami Dolphins due to a lingering shoulder injury.

Mathieu will miss his second straight game, six weeks after suffering a shoulder subluxation against the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 30. He missed two games in November and returned for one game before aggravating the shoulder.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians did not know when the “Honey Badger” would return. Mathieu did not practice this week.

“Your guess is as good as mine,” Arians told reporters Wednesday. “(His) range of motion is a little bit of a problem right now. But strength is coming back.”
