NFL: Injury puts Cardinals QB Leinart out for season

Advertiser Staff

TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart will miss the rest of the year because of a broken collarbone, ending his second NFL season after just five games.

He was placed on injured reserve today, two days after his injury during a victory over the St. Louis Rams. Backup quarterback Kurt Warner, who has seen steady action this season, replaced Leinart before halftime and finished the game.

The Cardinals signed Tim Rattay as a backup for Warner.
