Cardinals center A.Q. Shipley tears ACL, done for season

Arizona Cardinals starting center A.Q. Shipley tore his ACL in practice Saturday and is done for the 2018 season, coach Steve Wilks said.

"The MRI confirms that it is an ACL (injury). Very unfortunate situation for him and the team," Wilks said. "Tremendous leader, hard worker. When you talk about the DNA that I look for, (he's) a guy that loves the game. Very passionate, gritty. Really was a leader up front, and it's going to be an opportunity for others to step up that this particular time." The six-year NFL veteran started all 16 games in each of the past two seasons and has been a stalwart for the Cardinals.
