Arizona Cardinals starting right tackle Kelvin Beachum left his team’s 38-13 win against the Tennessee Titans with a rib injury and did not return Sunday.
The Cardinals replaced Beachum in the third quarter with Justin Murray, who started most of the 2019 season at right tackle but was in competition to start at right guard.
Second-year man Josh Jones, who was also a converted right tackle, remained at right guard after Beachum’s injury. Veteran Brian Winters also got run at right guard.
