One day after an improbable win over the Packers in Green Bay, the Arizona Cardinals got bad news on Monday in the form of two season-ending injuries.
Rookie Christian Kirk (foot) and offensive lineman Mike Iupati (knee) are going on injured reserve, coach Steve Wilks announced during his Monday news conference.
Wilks said it was "very disappointing" for the Scottsdale Saguaro High School product, who was having a solid season, but did indicate that Kirk should be ready to go next year.
In what proved to be his final game of his rookie season, Kirk had 91 all-purpose yards, 54 of them receiving on three catches.
