The Arizona Cardinals appear to have dodged a bullet as an MRI has revealed quarterback Drew Stanton has a sprained right knee and is considered week to week, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

"Huge relief," one person familiar with Stanton's MRI said Friday.


Stanton suffered the injury during Thursday night's 12-6 win over the St. Louis Rams, on a sack by defensive lineman Aaron Donald with 8:41 left in the third quarter. He hopped off the field on his left leg, not putting any weight on his right knee. After being examined by team doctors and trainers, Stanton was carted to the locker room and eventually ruled out.


Third-year quarterback Ryan Lindley took over and finished 4-for-10 passing for 30 yards in his first game action since 2012. Stanton was 12-for-20 for 109 yards before leaving the game.

I can't remember a time where a team that made the playoffs is gonna have to go with their 3rd string QB with 2 games still to go. Their 4th stringer better memorize the playbook.

Hello Mr. Favre, what are you doing at the moment?

Hello, Jake Plummer, ya got a sec?

Texans rolled with TJ whatshisname that one year right? Maybe he was second string.

Kurt Warner

They interviewed him on local radio and asked him if he would suit up. He said only if he was guaranteed 5 seconds before the defense would rush.

HUGE difference.

I have watched Lindley start 3 games at this level. He is one of the worst QB's to ever start a game in the NFL. Absolutely horrible.

There is a reason why Drew Stanton is not a starting QB in this league. He's not very good. But he is serviceable for a game or 2. He's proven that. He has a winning record this year as a starter.
