The Arizona Cardinals saw two of their key offensive playmakers need help to get to the locker room at the end of the first half on Sunday in their 33-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Wide receiver Kendrick Bourne hopped off the field after holding the back of his right leg at the end of a route. It was a non-contact injury, and he was immediately helped to the locker room.

The Cardinals ruled him out with an ankle sprain.

Right after, Cardinals running back Bam Knight took a brutal shot to the helmet from Cowboys defender DeMarvion Overshown, which forced a fumble around midfield that Dallas recovered. Overshown led with his shoulder and was not penalized, although there was head-to-head contact.

Knight was down for several minutes as players took a knee around him, and he was eventually helped off the field and into the tunnel.

Arizona had already ruled running back Jeremiyah Love questionable to return due to an ankle injury, and Knight going down left Tyler Allgeier as the last Arizona running back standing.

The Cardinals eventually ruled both Knight (concussion) and Love out.

Before the Bourne injury, wide receiver Michael Wilson was slow to get up after coming up short of making a catch on a deep ball from quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Wilson hit the turf hard, including his helmet.

By the end of Arizona’s last drive of the first half, Simi Fehoko and Reggie Virgil were the team’s wide receivers — Virgil was carted off the field in the fourth quarter to make matters worse.

Wilson went into the blue medical tent, but he came back into the game in the third quarter.

Wilson ended up catching eight passes for 111 yards.

LT Jayden Williams exits

In the second half, the Cardinals ruled left tackle Jayden Williams out with a knee injury.

Josh Fryar took over at the position.
