Coach Jonathan Gannon expressed the difficulty of losing Dennis Gardeck to a torn ACL, highlighting his commitment and the impact on the Cardinals' defense. Gardeck's absence will be felt both for his performance and leadership, as he has been a key player since joining the team as an undrafted free agent. Gannon emphasized the importance of Gardeck’s contributions and how the loss requires the team to adapt their strategies moving forward.
Gardeck's injury comes as the Cardinals are already struggling with depth on their defensive line, having lost two edge rushers to ACL injuries this season. With only Zaven Collins remaining healthy as a regular outside linebacker, the team will need to count on lesser-known players like Jesse Luketa and rookie Xavier Thomas to fill his void. Gannon mentioned that the upcoming week's game against the Miami Dolphins will require the team to reassess their defensive strategy and roles.
