Word is that ILB Kevin Minter could have a torn pectoral. He was the guy who was in line to step up in place of the Dansby/Daryl Washington hole(s) at inside backer.
It's not official as to the extent of the injury but it looks like he'll miss some time.

Lose them all for the criminal.
Sure it requires you to change pronunciation of the word criminal to make it an exact rhyme but still.
i think this is the play he got injured on...Darnell Dockett carted off at Cardinals practice with apparent right leg injury

A Cardinals stalwart reportedly departed practice on a cart Monday after suffering an apparent leg injury.
According to Paola Bolvin of the Arizona Republic, defensive tackle Darnell Dockett went down with a possible right leg injury and was eventually carted off the field.
The 33-year-old Dockett has been a starter for Arizona throughout his career and has missed just two regular season games in 10 NFL seasons. A three-time Pro Bowler, Dockett has recorded 459 tackles and 40.5 sacks.
Losing Dockett for any major length of time would be a blow to an Arizona defense already without star inside linebacker Daryl Washington (suspension).
My God, the Cardinals are almost defenseless.
Defensive end Darnell Dockett was carted off from practice Monday and will miss the season with atorn right ACL, the team announced. He will undergo surgery to repair his knee.
Dockett did not tear his MCL, which will make his rehab a bit easier and allow him to undergo surgery sooner, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports, per a source close to the player.
At 33, Dockett isn't the same player he once was, but he's been the very model of durability over 10 NFL seasons (all with the Cards) and is the team's defensive leader. He's missed just two games in that time, even more impressive when you consider the punishing nature of playing in the trenches year in and out.
The Cardinals have already lost standout linebacker Karlos Dansby to free agency and Daryl Washington to suspension.
They'll now have to attempt to replicate last year's No. 1 run defense without Dockett, too.

Holy crap...
I've never seen a defense lose this many key guys.
Dockette may be all but done after this knee, too. He's 33 and was slowing down, anyhow.
They don't have many guys left, this is crazy.

I don't wish an injury like that on any player, even if its our direct rivals.
However, because of this, I cant see how we don't at least finish 3rd in our division.. barring any serious injuries on our side

The games against the Cardinals need to be wins now. They have half the defense that they once did. I guarantee they don't get close to 10 wins this season.
Dockett's one of the select group of players who play for hated teams I respect and wish we had,sort of like Willie McGinest ,they are too good to hate them if you appreciate excellence of play.
I agree Rastaman ,but I thought they were going to struggle already on defense this is IMO about the last thing they needed.

All is not lost for them on defense as long as they have Campbell and Peterson. But this one hurts, no doubt about it.

The next person that starts a thread on Darnell Dockett's injury will cause me to re-post the "The Search Engine Is Your Friend" thread. Bloody hell!
I had always thought of Dockett as a good football player but totally lost all respect for him after this play.i think this is the play he got injured on...

It's CNN syndrome. Where you feel you have to be the first one to report the news no matter what.
Washington and Dockett?
Doesn't that pretty much gut their front line?
Granted, they still have a great backfield, but I imagine they're going to have some issues created pressure upfront this year. And I already thought they'd been overrated anyway.
Now is the time for the Rams. Kick them in the teeth and right in the berries where it hurts most. Can't wait to see our, hopefully, fully healthy O-Line go toe-to-toe with these jokers.

And Dansby, and Honey Badger still isn't back from a double knee joint tear (but he's maybe coming off the PUP today.) Oh, and the severity of Minter's pectoral tear is still up in the air. Right now they're talking holding him out of the preseason, but surgery will cost him 3-5 months.
A hot mess.
