The Cardinals lost another starting interior lineman for the season, forcing another shakeup.

The team announced that guard Justin Pugh is going to injured reserve, after suffering a left knee injury in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs.

Pugh, who was signed to a five-year, $45 million contract this offseason to stabilize the line, joins center A.Q. Shipley on IR. Shipley suffered a knee injury in training camp.

Pugh had also missed two games this year because of a hand injury.

The Cardinals also released safety Eddie Pleasant, leaving them with two open roster spots to fill.
