Cardinals' Kenyan Drake (ankle) to miss "a few weeks"
Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake suffered a slight tear in one of his ankle tendons and is expected to miss "a few weeks".
What It Means:
Drake appeared to be in serious pain when he went down on Sunday night, and MRIs today confirmed that he suffered a slightly torn ankle tendon during the team's last-second victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Drake could do a stint on the injured reserve while he recovers.
Drake's absence should open up more opportunities for Chase Edmonds, who has shined in a secondary role for most of the season. He put up 145 scrimmage yards on 12 touches against the Seahawks and has dominated as a pass-catcher already on a near-weekly basis.
