Arizona Cardinals DT Corey Peters Out for the Season with Torn Achilles

The hits just keep on coming for teams around the NFL, and the Arizona Cardinals specifically. A day after it was reported that former Pro Bowl guard Mike Iupati would miss six-to-eight weeks with a knee injury, fellow free agent acquisition Corey Peters is out for the season with a torn Achilles. 

Slated to start at defensive tackle next to Frostee Rucker, Peters' injury puts the Cardinals behind the proverbial eight-ball. The only other internal options here are Ed Stinson, Alameda Ta'amu and Matt Shaughnessy. That's a less-than-ideal scenario for a Cardinals defense that struggled stopping the run last season. Those struggles were also magnified by lackluster inside linebacker play—something the team hopes it rectified by signing another injury-plagued player in Sean Weatherspoon. 

With the free agent market about as watered-down as it gets, the Cardinals have few options here.
