The Arizona Cardinals are slowly getting back on their feet, as made evident by their narrow loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While they did lose Patrick Patterson to injury during the game, it doesn't look like the injury warranted any unnecessary worry after all.
Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury addressed the media on Monday, answering questions on the calf injury that kept Peterson out of the fourth quarter in the process. According to Cardinals Wire's Jess Root, Kingsbury provided more details about the injury and the extent of the damage.
Fortunately for Cards fans, they wouldn't have to worry about not seeing Peterson. He is day-to-day. His head coach announced that he suffered a muscle injury in his calf, the diagnosis means that he will likely not miss any significant amount of time.
Peterson is likely still questionable to play in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers, but there's no doubt that he'll be able to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13. The bye week should allow him more than enough time to recuperate his body and participate in full practices without any hitches.
In 2019, Peterson has been a solid defender for the Cardinals. He's made 19 tackles, an interception, a pass deflection and a sack in only four appearances. It's also important to note that his health has always been one his valuable assets — he's never missed a football game since his rookie season, and the only absences he's incurred so far has been due to the suspension he served, in 2019.
Tramaine Brock will be ready to deputize for him against the 49ers, but the team will be hoping that he recovers on time to bolster the team's defense.
