The Arizona Cardinals dealt with a number of injuries to key players. Some missed time and others played through injuries they could. Defensive lineman Zach Allen, who emerged as a productive, disruptive force on the defensive line, played through an injury.
He had an ankle injury that limited him in practice over the Cardinals’ final three weeks of the season, including the playoffs. It was bad enough that he had offseason surgery on his ankle, he shared on his Twitter account.
Surgery was a success! All season, I was playing on a torn up ankle, but now that’s behind me. Can’t wait to get back for 2022 at 100%. God is Great! #RedSea
