The Arizona Cardinals lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday 23-17. They appear to have come out of the game fairly clean when it comes to injuries.
There were a pair of ankle injuries to note, though.
Defensive lineman Rodney Gunter left the game with an ankle injury. He did not return.
Starting right guard J.R. Sweezy apparently tweaked his ankle during the game. In the first half, he was replaced by Mason Cole. Sweezy started the second half and they basically rotated series in the second half.
Sweezy’s ankle injury did not show up on the injury report during the week so it had to have happened during the game. “We wanted to make sure guys were fresh and healthy and had a little bit of a rotation,” said Kliff Kingsbury after the game.
Kingsbury will address reporters Monday afternoon and might tell us more about the health of the team and the status of Gunter, but the first official injury report of the week will not come out until Wednesday.
