One of Cardinals' Safety top defensive rookies Tyrann Mathieu, who suffered an injury while playing against the St. Louis Rams, has been advised to stay off the field for nine months.
After an MRI on Monday we learned that Mathieu not only tore his ACL, but he also tore his LCL. Rehabilitation time for that should last about nine months. That means he’s likely to miss the start of next season.
"He was crying, he was sad," said Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians. "He had never been injured so these guys that get hurt for the first time, it's devastating. To take away the thing he loved the most and worked so hard for, he was devastated. But he’ll get over it and get strong. He’s got a lot of support."
On his way off the field, Mathieu showed his support to the home crowd as he waved and then blew a kiss.
“He’s got a bright, bright future,” added Arians. “Just right now he’s gotta work hard at getting his leg back and I’m sure he will.”
