DENNIS GARDECK NEWS

Forced out with injury Gardeck (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Gardeck recorded one tackle before sustaining an ankle injury at some point during this contest, though the exact nature of this issue is still unclear. The 28-year-old almost perfectly split his 205 total snaps between defense and special teams over the first five games of the season, recording 17 tackles, one sack, one pass defended and one forced fumble. With Gardeck sidelined, expect Victor Dimukeje to step in opposite outside linebacker Markus Golden.

Impact Gardeck was placed on IR before Week 1 as he continued to rehab from a torn ACL that he sustained late last season. With the move, the Cardinals will have three weeks to activate him to their 53-man roster. The 27-year-old linebacker appeared in 14 games for Arizona last year and registered seven sacks in a limited defensive role.

Stuck on PUP list The Cardinals are placing Gardeck (knee) on the PUP list, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Coming back from an ACL tear suffered in Week 15 last year, Gardeck could stay on the PUP list into the regular season, which would rule him out for the first six games. It's also possible he's ready to practice at some point in August, in which case he could end up playing Week 1. After breaking out for seven sacks in 14 games last year, Gardeck signed a second-round restricted free agent tender in the offseason, locking him in for a $3.38 million salary. He'll likely come off the bench as an edge rusher again, behind projected starters Chandler Jones and Markus Golden.
