Heads to injured reserve The Cardinals placed Lawrence (shoulder) on injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Impact Lawrence's placement on IR opens up a spot on the active roster for Rodrigo Blankenship, who had been on the practice squad.

He will have to miss a minimum of four weeks.
