The Arizona Cardinals ended the season pretty healthy overall. They had several players finish the season on injured reserve but coming out of Week 17, there did not appear to be any new injuries.
However, one player might need offseason surgery, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury.
Kingsbury said linebacker Chandler Jones could need surgery for the thumb injury he sustained in December.
“The only one, Chandler has that thumb that may have some work done, but nothing too serious,” he told reporters on Monday. He said there is ligament damage.
If he does have surgery, it likely means he will have to pull out of the Pro Bowl. Kingsbury didn’t give any sort of timetable but made it sounds like Jones would be ready to go when the offseason program begins in the spring.
