The Arizona Cardinals will be without one of their defensive ends for the rest of Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Starting defensive end Jonathan Bullard will not return to the game after suffering a hamstring injury, the team announced.

Bullard left the game with 0.5 sacks and a tackle.

Entering play Sunday, the DE compiled 21 tackles and an assist in eight games played this season.

The injury is the latest for Bullard, who missed the team’s Week 11 tilt against the San Francisco 49ers with a foot injury.

Bullard is in his first season with the Cardinals after spending the last three seasons with the Chicago Bears. His best year as a pro came in 2017 where the DE made 25 total tackles, one sack, a forced fumble and two passes defensed.
