When Cardinals cornerback Mike Jenkins was being carted off after a non-contact fall yesterday, the look on his face made it clear it was serious.

The news today was as bad as it looked.

Via Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic, Jenkins suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season.

The Cardinals signed the former Cowboys first-rounder this offseason to lend some stability to a secondary that needed it, and will now have to find someone to start opposite Patrick Peterson.

They already had Tyrann Mathieu coming off his own torn ACL and Justin Bethel was just activated from the PUP list after foot surgery.
