Arizona’s Boldin says he will play

Tempe, Ariz. — After missing a playoff game because of an injured hamstring, Arizona wide receiver Anquan Boldin said he expects to play in the NFC championship against Philadelphia on Sunday

“I’m feeling good,” Boldin said after practice Friday. “I’ve been able to practice all week, so if nothing else happens at this point, I’ll be out on the field.”

Boldin, who with Larry Fitzgerald forms possibly the best receiving tandem in football, said a trip to a Dallas chiropractor this week greatly improved his strained left hamstring. The injury kept Boldin out of the Cardinals’ 33-13 victory at Carolina in Saturday’s divisional playoff game.

Boldin has practiced each of the last three days, and he said he should be able to run all his normal pass routes Sunday.

“For me, it isn’t a problem either way right now,” Boldin said. “It’s not grabbing, so I don’t have any problem with it. I’m able to run short and deep routes.”
