Watkins sustained the injury in Week 2 against the Giants. He signed with the Cardinals in March after spending the past two seasons with the Cowboys. Watkins will now be forced to miss the next four games and will be eligible to return in Week 7 against the Seahawks on Oct. 22, though he could miss more time while recovering from his surgery.

Watkins sustained the injury in Week 2 against the Giants. He signed with the Cardinals in March after spending the past two seasons with the Cowboys. Watkins will now be forced to miss the next four games and will be eligible to return in Week 7 against the Seahawks on Oct. 22, though he could miss more time while recovering from his surgery.
Fotu was inactive Week 2 versus the Giants after being listed as a limited practice participant on all three of the Cardinals' injury reports prior to that game. He managed a similar on-field regimen this week, so it remains to be seen if he'll be able to reenter Arizona's defensive line mix Sunday.
Woods also missed last week's loss to the Giants after starting and playing 55 percent of the defensive snaps in the season opener versus Washington. Krys Barnes and Kyzir White started at linebacker for Arizona in Week 2.
Watkins seems a likely candidate to land on IR, where he could be sidelined more than the requisite minimum of four games. In two appearances for the Chiefs this season, he's racked up seven total tackles, one sack and one pass defensed.
Moore turned in another disappointing performance in Week 2, as QB Joshua Dobbs only looked his way once in the contest. The third-year wideout has yet to see enough volume to sustain fantasy relevance in the Cardinals' below average passing attack. Nonetheless, Moore will look to get more involved going forward as Dobbs becomes more familiar with the offense. Things won't get much easier in Week 3, however, as the Cardinals are set to host the Cowboys and their formidable defense.
Ingram was a nonfactor in the Cardinals' offense Sunday, as he played just 10 of Arizona's 65 offensive snaps in the contest. Fellow running back James Conner, however, played 47 snaps and handled 23 carries for 106 yards and a touchdown. Barring an injury to Conner, Ingram should remain far off the fantasy radar going forward. The 23-year-old will likely have a difficult time seeing much playing time when the Cardinals host the Cowboys in Week 3.
Prater opened the game by missing wide left from 55 yards. He responded by hitting subsequent field goals from 37 and 44 yards in the second quarter. Through two weeks, he sports a commendable 18 points.
