Ian Rapoport is reporting that Cardinals CB Robert Alford has suffered a torn pectoral and will subsequently miss the 2020 season.
This is the second year in a row that Alford has been injured in practice and will miss the season, he is also set to have surgery on the injury.
You can expect Arizona to place him on injured reserve in the coming days and add someone to their roster.
Alford, 30, is a former second-round pick of the Falcons back in 2013. He finished the second year of a four-year, $38 million dollar contract that included $21 million guaranteed when the Falcons released him.
The Cardinals later signed Alford to a three-year, $22.5 million deal worth up to $24 million and includes $13.5 million guaranteed last year.
In 2018, Alford appeared in 15 games for the Falcons and recorded 50 total tackles, no interceptions, and 11 pass defenses. Pro Football Focus had him rated as the No. 105 overall cornerback out of 112 qualifying players.
