Cardinals' TE Pope placed on IR

Injuries continued to hamper the Cardinals, who now have to replace starting tight end Leonard Pope.

Pope is out for the season after suffering a dislocated right ankle and a possible leg fracture after he caught a short pass in the third quarter.

Pope's leg was twisted awkwardly on the tackle by cornerback Marcus Trufant, who immediately called for trainers after Pope hit the ground.

The Cardinals have two other tight ends, Ben Patrick and Troy Bienemann and could re-sign Tim Euhus, who was released two weeks ago.

The Cardinals played Sunday without receiver Anquan Boldin, who suffered a dislocated toe last week. Receiver Larry Fitzgerald played, although he wasn't 100 percent because of a strained groin.

Fitzgerald said he had trouble making cuts off his left foot Sunday, but he caught six passes for 79 yards and a touchdown.

"I'm drugged up right now," Fitzgerald replied when asked how he felt. "When it goes away, I'll know."

Can we stop with the "This should be in the Weekly Discussion Thread" stuff? You are encouraged to put the lesser news in that thread, but it is not a rule.

Anthony Smith is more of a key player right now. Im glad someone else agrees with me, im just saying this because before Burton other people would post articles like this and people like WALLY would lock it! I guess it's different now huh Wally?

What? No, I wouldn't lock the threads. What would be the point in that? I have always stated that news can be posted both in the appropriate thread and in it's own thread.
