APThe Hall of Fame game could be a night that lives in infamy for Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb.
After throwing an interception on his first throw and then presiding over a three-and-out, Kolb landed on his right shoulder/arm while being brought down after throwing a pass by Saints defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis.
Kolb most likely won’t be back. Though the specific injury isn’t known at this point, it appears that Kolb didn’t strike his head on the ground, making yet another concussion less likely.
John Skelton has entered the game in place of Kolb.
UPDATE 8:53 p.m. ET: Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports that Kolb has a “rib contusion.”

Not to say hes faking injuries but, he would have been cut if they had enough film to see he’s a bust…but they don’t because he’s always on the sideline…..smart move if he’s faking, the game wasnt looking good for him.
Wow…
Ellis with 1st cart off of the year
Damn, well Kolb, it was fun buddy while you totally fooled the Cards into thinking you were worth more than a backup. How in the world can Florio think these guys were 25th? Two sorry QBs later and you’re not top 5 worst?
Is it just me or is Kevin Kolb ALWAYS hurt?
Sedrick Ellis was heard yelling “GIVE ME MY MONEY!!” after the hit.
Not sure what that’s all about.
well that didn’t take the saints long
(just kidding)
Come on with the stupid bounty comments. I know you morons have been waiting all offseason to use your miserably uncreative “jokes”.
Oh no. Now sedrick Ellis will be suspended for the season by Naepolean Goodell for injuring a QB as part of a “bounty” program.
Now Saints listen up, do not hit anyone, tackle anyone or even look mean at anyone or the power crazed , “evidence” creating tyrant will ruin your reputation by labeling you as a “bounty” participant
looks like the bounty program is still in place. What’s the price on Kolb, about tree-fitty?
“Rib contusion?”
…He’s done..
This reminds me of the rams and Kurt Warner.
Saints*
I think the bounty will be paid by Larry Fitzgerald this time.
In all seriousness, anyone think the Cardinals are going to be paying close attention to who gets cut in Miami?
Thus ends the Kolb era in Arizona.
Any odds on him being Vick’s backup in Philly next year?
Eillis will be meeting with Goodell tomorrow
I can’t wait for the badly dubbed “where’s my money” video for this one!
People who asterisk the saints = suckers.
Kolb was pile driven into the ground. It is a subtle technique where you put full weight on the QB and is designed to hurt. Good chance Kolb has broken ribs or a dislocated shoulder. The answer to this is do the same thing to Breeze. That’s football. You hurt my guy I hurt your guy.
Why am I not suprise? If Andy Reid let’s u go, it means u don’t worth a penny
Kolb … because spread offense college QBs are always successful in the NFL!
The guys just brittle that’s all that’s too it…I gave him 3 games…he might not even make it to week1
Rob Johnson version 2.0! Take it from a Bills fan, that trade will take you 10-15 years to recover!
This guy is laughing all the way to the bank. He fleeced the Cards!!! Can’t believe they ponied up all of that cash for a guy who had a few good games….as a backup1
Kolb hurt is the best thing for the Cardinals team. Skelton is the far superior QB anyway. Kolb was bound to get injured, and when he comes back it won’t take long to get hurt again.
I really hoped Kolb was going to pan out since he went to UH. But he’s starting to look like the standard “no expectations to a lot of hype to a bust” that we’ve all become familiar with.
Boy, the Saints are making the Cards look terrible!
‘Course, I said the same thing last year when the Saints played the 49′ers in the pre-season.
Cards got screwed. He is a backup QB, not a starter. Should have stayed in philly as a backup.
I suppose Goodell is going to say there was a bounty against Kolb…..
Arizona could see what Jamarcus Russell is up to.
I feel so bad for Larry Fitzgerald…
It suck that he keeps getting hurt because we can’t actually see him play enough to know if he is a bust or not. It was always my opinion he was nothing more then a backup QB, but that being said I am really hoping he can become a solid QB. I would like to see him be successful and Fitz def deserves it.
oh, this never happens, he is consistent and durable…
Really surprised AZ kept him at his salary. Throwing good money after bad, anyone can see after last year he is just a horrible quarterback.
“I feel so bad for Larry Fitzgerald…”
It’s his fault. He lobbied for Kolb. If anyone’s to blame for trading for Kolb…it’s Fitz.
Skelton is the obvious choice to start in Arizona. If Kolb somehow remains the starter, you know that the owner Bidwell is demanding it from HC Whisenhunt.
Hand Kolb a clip board!!
Who knows John could be the next Tom Brady! Give the man a shot! Kurt was stocking shelves before he became a Hall of Famer!!
Maybe AZ can give Ryan Leaf a call…
