More bad news for the Cardinals’ secondary. Cornerback Robert Alford has suffered a tibia fracture, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport (Twitter link). He’ll be sidelined for about two months, according to ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter), leaving Arizona dangerously short-handed to start the season.
The Alford injury stings a bit more after star cornerback Patrick Peterson was slapped with a six-game suspension for a PED violation. At minimum, the Cardinals’ pass defense is looking paper thin for games against the Lions, Ravens, Panthers, Seahawks, Cardinals, and Falcons. In the coming days, the Cardinals may look for a significant upgrade at cornerback or, at least, some additional depth.
For now, the Cardinals look to rely on Tramaine Brock and rookie Byron Murphy to start the season.
That week 5 Cardinals vs Cardinals match has got my attention! I’m willing to bet the Cardinals pull that one off.
Touché
Lol

@kona idk man I wouldn’t be suprised if the Cardinals upset the Cardinals should be a tough game but I ultimately think it’s gonna be 28-21 with the Cardinals getting the win!
“Cardinals looking paper thin” and “Arizona dangerously shorthanded” will be the summation of their entire season.
This injury might push the Cardinals over the Kliff.
