Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson suffered a calf injury that caused him to have to miss part of the fourth quarter of the team’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Initially after the game, coach Kliff Kingsbury did not know what Peterson’s status was with the injury.
He addressed the media Monday and he had a little more information.
He told reporters Peterson was day-to-day with a muscle injury in his calf. He did not know whether Peterson will be able to play this weekend against the San Francisco 49ers, but said Peterson “definitely” will be able to play after the bye week in December.
Peterson has never missed a game because of injury in his career. The only games he has missed were the six he missed at the start of this season when he was suspended.
If Peterson is unable to go, hopefully Tramaine Brock will return. Brock had a hamstring injury that kept him out on Sunday. That would allow him and Byron Murphy to start and then Kevin Peterson could come in as the third corner.
