The Arizona Cardinals could be down another key player for their season opener this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs. Already dealing with several starters with injuries, now it is wide receiver Rondale Moore.
According to Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson, Moore injured his hamstring in Thursday’s practice and is set to have an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.
Moore did not appear on the team’s original injury report Wednesday. He was listed as limited on Thursday.
He is listed as the starting ‘X’ receiver, the position DeAndre Hopkins normally would play, for the Cardinals on their initial depth chart of the year.
He was slated to have a big role on offense in his second season.
With this new injury, the Cardinals could be down Hopkins, Moore and potentially tight end Zach Ertz, who is dealing with a calf injury.
With injuries and questions on defense as they face a dangerous Chiefs offense this weekend, they need their offense to produce.
Moore was going to be a big part of that.
If he can’t play, Andy Isabella is listed as his backup, although it could mean moving Marquise Brown outside and playing Greg Dortch in the slot.
