Redding and Okafor to IR

[gmabel830]

Davonte Adams is unlikely to play for the Packers.. he's had a disappointing year, but that injury could be bigger than Okafor + Redding impact.

 

[Capital Card]

so okafor injured his toe while wasnt playing football,another dumb action

Gambo talking about it now. Said he hurt it "f'n" around over the weekend. No details yet....

Stupid.

 

[wa52lz]

Per a Gambo source- Okafor broke his toe f’ing around and probably ended his Cardinals career. They played a clip of BA being asked what happened and he said, “you have to ask Alex”, sounded pissed

 

[Jetstream Green]

Okafor, either by injury or regression, has been a major disappointment this season, and did not have one remarkable game that I can think of like he did last season. This loss only hurts from a depth perspective.

The one OLB who we can ill-afford to lose is Freeny, and that's saying a lot about our LB corp.

Okafor seems to have the same progression of another UT linebacker Acho... draft a UT linebacker and then trade him after the 1st year is what I would do now lol

 

[football karma]

hellooooo Kareem Martin

the opportunity is yours

Just don't draft any LB out of the state of Texas. They're nothing but trouble.

 

[Ed Burmila]

Does anyone know if non-football injury means that Okafor can be reactivated? Or is he done for the year?

Just curious. Doubt it will happen.

IR=out for year

IR=out for year

Yeah but he isn't on IR.

No. Non-Football Injury (NFI).

Means he probably broke his toe kicking a telephone.

 

[Buckybird]

Yeah but he isn't on IR.

Oops the original post said IR, but I see that it's wrong. Good question, but I'd think the signing of Babins means he's done for this year.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Ugh. Not the time you want this to happen - I wish we could have determined this a week ago, and given Babin a little more time in the playbook. Frankly, I'm surprised he was the pick over Shaugnessy.

One of my favorite Cardinals players, but after Shaughnessey's last injury, he never recovered, IMO.

I think his career is over, and while nothing "special" he had a very solid career. He had a season in AZ where he played at a ridiculous level. You could not run to his side, he owned it.

The problem is they drafted 2 former Horns who really lacked explosiveness when they should've listened to me & drafted Hicks this year. He's a stud

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Curious to see if Shaq Riddick is active, and if so, sees the field now

+1

If he can replicate a little of what he did in 2011 I don't think we'll miss a beat. I just watched some of his highlights and he has the spin move in his repertoire also.

He's done.

Alex Okafor's year ends with mysterious toe injury

http://www.azcentral.com/story/spor...ors-year-ends-mysterious-toe-injury/78702130/

Go ask Alex.

That was Cardinals coach Bruce Arians’ response when asked how starting outside linebacker Alex Okafor suffered a toe injury over the weekend, ending Okafor's season.

But no one was able to ask Okafor because he was not in the locker room during media availability. His agent did not return messages.

I agree with this. He must have put out some B-A-D tape in the preseason, because even if he was moved to to DE instead of OLB (or the other way around), it's weird to have a DL who can play just sit out there.

 

[Stout]

Mother fracker!

 

[sunsfan88]

Wonder if he was playing basketball??

Or fell off a hoverboard.

 

[crisper57]

Or fell off a hoverboard.

Oh. Bingo. I bet this is it.

 

[juza76]

to be honest we shouldnt miss him ..he underperfomed this season,probably a consequence of his injuries
he showed for the second time he is not very sharp man
i guess he will be released after training camp or traded
