John Skelton Injury Could Be Costly For Cardinals

Stay connected with SB Nation

According to Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic, Arizona Cardinals quarterback John Skelton could miss several weeks with a right ankle injury.

Skelton injured the ankle during the Cardinals' 20-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Somers states that the Cardinals were relieved when initial tests showed that Skelton had a sprain and not a fracture in the ankle. But if it's a high ankle sprain, Skelton could miss several weeks.

This puts the Cardinals in a bind. They could add another quarterback, but it looks like they'll stick with the two they have remaining on the roster -- Kevin Kolb and Ryan Lindley -- and gamble.

The decisions are all up in the air at the moment, until the timetable for Skelton's return is firmly set early this week.
