After not practicing on Wednesday, Boldin was again off the practice field on Thursday. However, he did some work on the side and the Cardinals are hopeful that he can participate in Friday’s practice. If he practices on Friday, there’s a very good chance that he’ll play in the Week 7 contest that has the Cardinals going against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football.

On the season, Boldin has 29 catches for 306 yards and one touchdown. His best game came in Week 3 when he had six catches for 83 yards and a touchdown against the Colts.

Although Arizona is deep at the wide receiver position, they’ll need Boldin to have a decent shot at beating the Giants this weekend.

Anquan Boldin Injury Update – Ankle

That said, there are some Baltimore Ravens rumors swirling that the team could be looking to add a high profile wide receiver? Who could that be? Here are some options:

Anquan Boldin
When considering everything, Boldin makes a huge amount of sense for the Ravens. He’s a great receiver and has the type of mentality that should thrive in John Harbaugh’s system.

Brandon Marshall
Although his talent is comparable to Boldin’s talent, there are a lot more character red flags with Marshall. Could he survive Harbaugh?

Plaxico Burress
Burress is a long shot due to his legal trouble — plus the fact that he may be suspended for the entire 2009 season. But on talent alone, Burress is still elite.

Marvin Harrison
Still looking for a team, this future Hall of Famer could help out the Ravens right away. The question is how much gas does Harrison still have in his NFL tank.

Baltimore Ravens: Wide Receiver Rumors

Warner, who received a $23 million contract from the Cardinals earlier in the offseason, is already back in action. Taking part in the Cardinals recent minicamp, Warner put in some light work that left head coach Ken Whisenhunt impressed. Although the Cardinals QB admits to still feeling pain in the joint, he says that he fully expects to be 100% by the time training camp opens.

During the Cardinals minicamp, Andquan Boldin showed up but didn’t play due to a contract dispute. If Boldin doesn’t settle his dispute with the Cardinals, Warner will be missing half of his dynamic wide receiving tandem that also features Larry Fitzgerald.

The surgery to Warner’s left hip was to take out some loose fragments and to fix a torn labrum.

The Cardinals made the Super Bowl last season but Boldin has been unhappy since the beginning of last year. Boldin’s unhappiness seems to stem from Larry Fitzgerald, a fellow wide receiver on the Cardinals, getting a $40 million contract and Boldin not being offered a similar deal.

Since entering the NFL, Boldin has been successful since Day 1. He had 101 catches in his first season and is coming off a campaign in which he had 89 catches for 1,038 yards and 11 touchdowns despite missing four games due to injury. In his six year career, Boldin has 502 receptions for 6,496 yards and 40 touchdowns.

Among the teams said to be interested in trading for Boldin are the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants need to replace Plaxico Burress, while the Eagles have been searching for a talented number one receiver since the departure of Terrell Owens.

Anquan Boldin Trade Rumors Heating Up

4. Kurt Warner
At 96 years of age, Kurt Warner is the oldest human to play in a Super Bowl. When upright, he’s dangerous. Will the Steelers be able to get him on his back?

3. Ben Roethlisberger
In his last Super Bowl, Ben Roethlisberger was horrible. While technically he has a Super Bowl ring, Pittsburgh won despite of his play. Can Big Ben earn a Super Bowl ring this time around?

2. Larry Fitzgerald
All of a sudden, it’s as if Larry Fitzgerald figured out that he’s really, really good. During these playoffs, when he’s not scoring touchdowns, he’s breaking NFL playoff records. Can he keep it up in the Super Bowl?

1. Anquan Boldin
After the Cardinals qualified for the Super Bowl, Anquan Boldin was in no mood to celebrate. Instead, Boldin was mad that he wasn’t on the field more often. To make matters worse, he skipped out of the locker room soon after the game. Is he going to help the Cardinals or be a distraction?
