GLENDALE, Arizona – Next. Man. Up.
It’s the mantra the Arizona Cardinals lived by a year ago, and really ever since head coach Bruce Arians arrived in 2013.
The motto was dusted off on Thursday when it was announced starting nose tackle Corey Peters would be lost for the season with a torn Achilles.
“You just hate it for him,” cornerback Jerraud Powers said, “but as a football team in the NFL, injuries, you expect it, you deal with it and you just move on.”
Rookie Rodney Gunter will get the first opportunity to fill Peters’ spot along the defensive line. The Cardinals drafted the 6-foot-5, 305 pound defensive end in the fourth round, 116th overall, out of Delaware State.
