Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald expects to play Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.

However, he acknowledged it's out of his hands.

Fitzgerald has a sprained left medial collateral ligament.

"I'm highly likely, but it's not my call, though," Fitzgerald said.

Fitzgerald said he wants to be smart because he wants to be healthy for the playoffs "hopefully going into February, that's the goal."
