ALLEN PARK — Safety Louis Delmas was back at practice on Friday and said he expects to play on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals at Ford Field. Delmas sprained his Achilles’ on Sunday at Baltimore. He was already playing with an ankle sprain on the other foot. Coach Jim Schwartz is playing it a little more cautious and said that Delmas will be a game-time decision.

“I felt great out there participating in practice. The coach has been doing a  great job of keeping me out of practice so I don’t put any more stress on my injury,’’ Delmas said after Friday’s practice.

Delmas is key to the secondary which will need him facing the high-powered passing offense of the Cardinals featuring quarterback Kurt Warner, along with receivers Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston (Michigan).
