Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports reports that the Cardinals believeย DL Darnell Dockett suffered a torn ACL during Monday’s practice.

Dockett was set to undergo an MRI on his knee after he had to beย carted off the field.

The Cardinals haveย Frostee Rucker listed asย Dockett’s backup on their depth chart, but there is no question that this would be a big loss for Arizona.
