No injuries

The Cardinals have seemingly had a major injury or two every week this season. It gets old. It is also a huge reason they find themselves in the current standing they are in.

It all started with running back David Johnson in week one against the Detroit Lions. It was all downhill from there.

Remember Mike Iupati, D.J. Humphries, Carson Palmer, Marcus Golden, Jared Veldheer, Tyvon Branch, Adrian Peterson, T.J. Logan, Ronald Zamort, Ifeanyi Momah, Rudy Ford, Daniel Munyer, and finally last week Brittan Golden. All went on injured reserve.

It actually all started in preseason with Zamort and Logan. It was a sign of things to come. In 2014 the Cardinals were good enough to overcome all their injury losses. This year they weren’t.

So, is it too much Santa to please ask for no more injuries? Not only for the last two games of the season but give these guys a chance to go into the offseason healthy.
