WR Jalen Brooks underwent surgery to repair a wrist injury and is out for the season. The injury occurred during the Week 7 game against Denver when Brooks caught a short pass and rumbled for 35 yards to the 1-yard line; as he was being tackled, he extended the ball attempting to break the plane for a touchdown, was hit, and stopped just short at the Broncos' 1-yard line. He was visibly uncomfortable in the locker room after the game and had surgery on Monday, indicating a severe sprain or fracture. Brooks, age 26, was a preseason standout and had earned increased playing time after the Marv Harrison trade; he played in all seven games with zero starts, posting 17 targets, 5 receptions for 81 yards (16.2 yards per catch), 26 YAC, 3 first downs, and 1 drop. His targets had increased once Harrison left, making this a significant blow to the Cardinals' receiver room.
