J. R. Redmond Out for the Season

It was supposed to be a "four-week injury," as Cardinals coach Dennis Green put it.

But now, J.R. Redmond's shoulder injury will keep him out for the season.

The Cardinals put Redmond and two others on injured reserve Monday and released six players in an effort to cut their roster down to 65 by the Aug. 31 deadline.

The team first thought Redmond suffered a dislocated shoulder, but it's now likely a separated shoulder.

Redmond showed he has the potential to be the third-down back. And in preseason games, he landed the punt- and kickoff-return jobs.

Fantasy Football Impact: In leagues that include return yardage, Redmond had a chance to contribute to a fantasy team. Now he is added to the growing list of preseason casualties.
