Cardinals' Dennis Gardeck Out for Season with Torn ACL

The Arizona Cardinals face another defensive setback as linebacker Dennis Gardeck suffers a season-ending ACL injury.

Dennis Gardeck, a key player for the Cardinals, tore his ACL during a game against the Los Angeles Chargers, marking his second ACL injury on the same knee.
Gardeck's injury is the latest in a series of season-ending setbacks for the Cardinals' defense, which has already lost several starters to injuries.
Despite missing Gardeck, the Cardinals managed to secure a narrow 17-15 victory over the Chargers, showcasing a resilient defensive effort.
The injury impacts Gardeck's future prospects as he is in the final year of his contract, potentially affecting his market value in free agency.
The Cardinals will rely on other players like Zaven Collins and rookies to fill the gap left by Gardeck as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins.
