The Arizona Cardinals have already suffered an injury on defense. In the opening drive of the game, starting safety Jalen Thompson had to leave with an ankle injury.
The team announced it and indicated his return to the game is questionable.
Thompson, who was selected by the Cardinals in the fifth round of the supplemental draft in 2019, was being counted on to play alongside Budda Baker.
In his absence, Chris Banjo was forced to play. He was in on the third-down stop before the 49ers’ 52-yard field goal to take the lead in the game.
