Rapoport: DeAndre Hopkins (knee surgery) looking at 6 weeks
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will undergo surgery to repair his torn MCL.
What It Means:
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network said Hopkins is expected to miss six weeks, which could allow him to return for the Cardinals in the playoffs. Christian Kirk, Rondale Moore, A.J. Green, and Zach Ertz will take on most of Hopkins' targets down the stretch.
Moore and Ertz tied for the team lead with 20.6% target shares from Weeks 9-11 while Hopkins was sidelined. Kirk came in third at 18.6%. The Cardinals are facing a Detroit Lions team in Week 15 that has the second-worst pass defense in the NFL, according to our adjusted metrics.
