The Arizona Cardinals lost cornerback Robert Alford for the season after he suffered a torn pectoral muscle in practice nearly two weeks ago. They might have another major injury coming out of training camp.
Safety Kentrell Brice, signed at the beginning of August, went down during the team’s Red and White practice on Friday, according to multiple reporters in attendance. He had to be carted off the field.
SI.com’s Mason Kern described it this way:
During the open portion of practice, safety Kentrell Brice was rolled up on in a routine run play designed for rusher Eno Benjamin during a rep with the second team. He was observed lying on his back gripping his left leg before trainers came to the field to examine the issue.
Shortly after, Brice was helped to his feet and could not place any weight on his left leg as he was ushered to the cart. As he was being transported off the field, Kingsbury was observed walking over to the cart and exchanging some words with Brice before he was taken off the field.
Head coach Kliff Kingsbury, when asked how the team came out of the practice health-wise, did not mention anything had happened to Brice.
Brice did not play in 2019. He spend three seasons with the Green Bay Packers, starting 10 if the 14 games in which he played in 2018.
However, he was going to have to battle for a final spot on the roster at safety. If it is serious, it will likely force him to injured reserve.
