The Arizona Cardinals rookie LB Alex Okafor is out for the season, due to a torn bicep.

Rookie Okafor confirmed this report on his twitter and that’s not good news for the Cardinals. The Cardinals have already lost its starting outside linebacker Sam Acho (Broken Leg) and Lorenzo Alexander (foot injury) in Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints. Acho and Alexander were placed on injured reserve ending their season. This happened on Monday and the Cardinals need to find a replacement quick.

The Cardinals drafted Okafor in the fourth round with the 103^rd pick from the University of Texas. Okafor was named first-team All-Big12 and First-team All-American in 2011. Furthermore, in his junior season he had 46 tackles and seven quarterback sacks. Cardinals signed Vic So’oto earlier Tuesday. So'oto has appeared in 12 NFL games over two seasons with the Packers, Raiders, and Redskins. The (1-2) Cardinals are in Bradenton, Florida this week in preparation for Sunday’s game against (0-3) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Out for the season with a torn bicep. Coming back stronger next year
