The Cardinals will not have defensive lineman Rashard Lawrence for Sunday’s game in Minnesota.
The team announced that Lawrence has been placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Lawrence injured his shoulder in last Thursday’s game against the Saints and will now miss at least four games.
Lawrence started all five games he played this season and posted 10 tackles and a forced fumble.
The Cardinals also announced that they have signed kicker Rodrigo Blankenship off of their practice squad. Blankenship was elevated for last Thursday’s game in place of the injured Matt Prater and Wednesday’s move suggests Prater will miss another game due to his hip injury.
Blankenship made both field goals he tried against the Saints and hit 2-of-3 extra points.
