          TEMPE, Ariz. -- Darnell Dockett's mocking of Oakland's winless 0-6 record late in Sunday's game went viral quickly after the Cardinals won, 24-13.

          But Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arian wasn't a fan of Dockett's antics.

          "It won't happen again," Arians said Monday afternoon.

          Dockett told ESPN.com he hasn't been fined by the team for the whiteboard message.

          Here's a photo of the sign taken by a Cardinals fan in Oakland:

          Recapping the rest of Arians' Monday news conference:

          • Arians said there's no structural damage to Andre Ellington's ribs. The running back is "just sore."

          • There's a possibility defensive end Calais Campbell could return to practice this week. He's been out with a strained MCL since suffering the injury against Denver in Week 5.

          • Arians said safety Rashad Johnson is being evaluated for a patellar tendon but it could be severe tendinitis.

          • Rookie tight end Troy Niklas is doubtful for the Eagles game, Arians said.

          • Second-year running back Stepfan Taylor lost weight to get quicker but lost some power at the same time, Arians said.

          • Arians explained how the Cardinals could be 31st about the pass but No. 1 against the run: "They can't run. They're going to throw." When he was asked if Arizona could win with the second-worst pass defense, Arians said "We have so far."

          • Arians said he won't push Ellington to practice on Wednesdays even though it's hindering the timing in Arizona's pass game: "He can't if he can't hardly walk."

          • Arians on the fake punts the St. Louis Rams pulled off against Seattle: "That was some big cojones as Good (offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin) would say."
