Rashard Lawrence - Undergoes surgeryArizona coach Kliff Kingsbury said that Lawrence underwent hand surgery that will force him to miss some time, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ImpactLawrence suffered a hand injury during Sunday's loss to the Rams, and this issue apparently required a follow-up procedure Monday. The third-year defensive lineman recorded four tackles while playing 74 defensive snaps over the Cardinals' first three games. With Lawrence now sidelined for an unspecified period of time, Leki Fotu, who has tallied four tackles over 69 defensive snaps and 19 special-teams snaps this season, will serve as the Cardinals' primary nose tackle.

A.J. Green - Diagnosed with bone bruiseCardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Green has a bone bruise in his knee and could miss at least one week, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ImpactGreen missed some time on the Cardinals' second drive of the game and was seen with his left knee in a wrap before returning to the field. Later, in the third quarter, he recorded a drop and landed awkwardly at the end of the play, again grabbing at his left knee. Green went to the locker room at that point and didn't return, ending the contest with no catches on two targets. The veteran wideout hasn't been ruled out for Week 4 yet, but there doesn't appear to be much optimism surround his status.
