The Arizona Cardinals could add the cornerback as insurance with Malcolm Butler now sitting on the NFL’s Reserve/Retired list.

The Arizona Cardinals organization and its fan base were informed of some potentially devastating news this past Monday. On Tuesday, the fears of the team and its followers were confirmed.

Malcolm Butler, the front office’s hand-picked replacement for eight-time Pro Bowler Patrick Peterson, has been placed on the NFL’s reserve/retired list. The Cards’ No. 1 cover guy is likely to miss the entire upcoming campaign due to an undisclosed personal situation.
