The Arizona Cardinals had a few injuries pop up in their 20-13 loss on Sunday to the Detroit Lions. A couple of starters were impacted.
TE Trey McBride: McBride entered NFL concussion protocol after a brutal helmet-to-helmet hit in the fourth quarter with Lions safety Brian Branch. When McBride came off the field, it appeared that he was unhappy he had to exit the game. We will see if by Wednesday his practice load is impacted. He had three catches for 25 yards in the game.
DL Justin Jones: Jones suffered a triceps injury during the game and was immediately ruled out the rest of the game. He had one tackle before he exited the game. Fans might worry about that injury because the Cardinals lost three players for the season to upper-arm injuries last season.
DL Khyiris Tonga: He suffered a knee injury in the second half and was announced questionable to return in the fourth quarter. He had four total tackles in the ga. me.
OL Jackson Barton: Barton started at right tackle and had a good game but exited in the fourth quarter with a toe injury. He was in a walking boot after the game. He couldn’t put weight on his right foot, which is why he came out.
S Budda Baker: Baker exited the game briefly in the first half. It looked like he suffered some lower-body injury and limped off the field. He returned on the next defensive series and finished the game.
