Heap said that he hoped it wouldn’t it wouldn’t keep him out of the team’s next game against the Philadelphia Eagles and described the injury as a “day to day type thing.”
He said that he got hurt when he was hit late out of bounds and drove his knee into the ground.
“I got up and tried to walk it off,” Heap said. “But we were being more precautious after that.”
Heap is off to a hot start for the Cardinals in 2012, leading the team with eight catches and 94 yards receiving.
