The Arizona Cardinals might be looking at their first serious injury of training camp, and it could impact their pass rush severely. Second-year linebacker BJ Ojulari went down during practice on Friday, according to many who were in attendance, when he injured what looked like his left leg.
He was assisted in walking to the locker room by two trainers.
Ojulari was having a very nice camp and was one of the Cardinals’ offseason standouts.
They were counting on him, as a second-round pick last year who show pass-rushing juice late last season, to be their best edge defender.
It was perhaps a positive thing that he did not have to be carted off the field, but with a seemingly thin outside linebacker group in terms of pass rush, it might be time for the team to look outside the organization for help.
