#AZCardinals S Kitan Crawford, who was carted off on Sunday, suffered a mid-ankle sprain and is headed to Injured Reserv Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: RapSheet reported Crawford suffered a mid-ankle sprain after being carted off Sunday. He is headed to injured reserve with a designated-to-return tag, according to the report.

Why it matters: That turns a one-game injury scare into a roster issue that reaches beyond this week. The designation removes a safety from the active mix now while leaving open a return later in the season.

What to watch: Watch for the formal transaction and any matching roster move in the secondary. The next update is whether the injured-reserve move is processed immediately.
