TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin says he feels much better and is optimistic about his chances of playing in Saturday's divisional playoff game at New Orleans.
Boldin said on Tuesday he "was able to move around a little bit" for the first time since he injured his left ankle and knee in the regular-season finale against Green Bay on Jan. 3.
The three-time Pro Bowler sat out Sunday's 51-45 wild card overtime victory over the Packers because of a high left ankle sprain and a sprained left knee. Boldin says he was able to do lateral drills on Tuesday and will see how he responds before a decision is made about participation in practice.
He says he still doesn't feel as good as he would like "but it's definitely an improvement."
