At this time of any NFL season, every team is banged up as they prepare for their final stretch of regular season games. J.J. Watt was placed on injured reserve in the middle of the season. DeAndre Hopkins suffered a torn MCL against the Rams and was placed on IR on Saturday. In surprising news mixed in with Hopkins, starting cornerback Robert Alford apparently suffered a pectoral injury and was placed on IR as well.
All are out for the remainder of the season but the Cardinals hopeful that all three can return some time during the postseason.
