Cardinals Hopeful Kicker Returns This Week; Team Doesn't Trust Ammendola

He's missed the last two weeks.

Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said he's ''hopeful'' that kicker Matt Prater will be day-to-day this week. 

He's hopeful because the Cardinals failed to trust Matt Ammendola almost at all in today's game, as they went for it three times inside the Seattle 30 on fourth downs rather than trusting Ammendola.

I really hope Matt Prater is ready for Thursday Night Football https://t.co/b3gsnwXhMz

They failed all three times, and Kingsbury admitted that not having his main kicker factored into those decisions and said they'd ''have to discuss'' if Ammendola would play on Thursday if Prater wasn't healthy. 

Basically, Ammendola does not appear to have gained much confidence within the Arizona Cardinals organization.
