Jared Veldheer has torn triceps, likely out for year

The loss to the Carolina Panthers was bad, but the results may be even worse as the Arizona Cardinals will likely be without their veteran left tackle Jared Veldheer for the remainder of the season.

Cardinals' LT Jared Veldheer needs surgery on partially torn triceps, per source. Veldheer had this surgery before and missed 10 weeks.

This is not the first time Veldheer has torn his triceps, but we do not know yet if it is the same one.

Ten week recovery would put Veldheer eligible to return right around the playoffs, if Arizona makes it that far, but they would have to give up hope on a return of Tyvon Branch or Chris Johnson if that was the case.
