The Cardinals lost a lot more than the “heartbeat of the offensive line.” They lost their communications director, drill sergeant and commander in chief all in one by losing starting center A.Q. Shipley to a season-ending knee injury.
Shipley, 32, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during Saturday’s "Red & White" practice. An MRI exam confirmed the damage and Shipley will now undergo surgery, be placed on injured reserve and miss the entire season.
