The Arizona Cardinals are dealing with multiple injury concerns following their preseason matchup against the Raiders, including a potentially significant setback along the offensive line. Second-round pick Chase Bisontis suffered a knee injury and was carted off, while running back Jeremiyah Love and quarterback Carson Beck are also managing less serious injuries. Here's the latest on all three players and what their injuries could mean moving forward.
Chase Bisontis, G - Left MCL
Bisontis suffered a torn MCL during Thursday night's preseason game against the Raiders and will require surgery. The good news is that the ACL was spared, but Pro Football Doc notes that isolated MCL surgery is rare and indicates a severe Grade 3 injury. Bisontis is expected to miss a few months, with Pro Football Doc calling the injury all but season-ending.
Jeremiyah Love, RB - Ankle
Love will miss the next week due to the ankle injury he suffered during Thursday night's preseason game against the Raiders. Head coach Mike LaFleur said Love was more sore than anticipated on Friday. The Cardinals will keep him out of practice this week and reevaluate the ankle next week before determining a plan for the remainder of the preseason. Love will not play in Saturday night's preseason game against the Cowboys.
Carson Beck, QB - Rib
Beck was held out of Thursday night's preseason game against the Raiders due to lingering discomfort from a rib injury suffered the previous week. Beck was able to practice throughout the week before Arizona ultimately decided to sit him as a precaution. Head coach Mike LaFleur said there is no real concern about the injury, noting that Beck was capable of throwing and could have played in a non-contact setting. The Cardinals simply did not want to risk aggravating the issue during a preseason game, and Beck is expected to be fine moving forward.
