Cardinals LB Kyzir White headed to IR with torn biceps

The Arizona Cardinals have suffered another bg blow to their defense. The latest is linebacker and team captain Kyzir White. Head coach Jonathan Gannon announced Monday White would be placed on injured reserve with a torn biceps.

Before the injury, he had played every defensive snap of the season. Per Darren Urban, White won’t play another snap this season.

It is the third torn biceps on defense this season. Defensive linemen L.J. Collier and Carlos Watkins also suffered torn biceps.

White actually stayed on the field a few plays with the injury.

“It was kind of gut-wrenching to watch because I didn’t know he tore his bicep and he’s out there playing with one arm,” Gannon said.

His loss means Krys Barnes will be thrust into the starting lineup. Barnes had an interception on Sunday after White exited the game.
