The Arizona Cardinals fans are holding their breath right now with Darnell Dockett leaving practice early with a leg injury. He was taken off of the field in a cart, but the extent of the injury is still not known. Any time that the cart is brought out to take the players off the field, panic will start to build.

Dockett is one of the playmakers on this Cardinals defense and the team would love to have him ready for the regular season. Dockett has been a durable player throughout his career, but this is a bit of a scare during practice.
Last season, Dockett finished last year with 4.5 sacks and 46 tackles.
The Cards fans will be keeping his status on their radar. The regular season starts in a couple of weeks and the Cardinals will open up the year on Monday Night football against the San Diego Chargers. Hopefully this is just a little scare and he will be able to get back on the field soon.
