How long is DeAndre Hopkins out Injury timeline return date

  • July 25, 2022
    No "Nuk" until the new year for Arizona.

    The Cardinals are 3-4 over their last seven games and a once-commanding lead on the division and the No. 1 seed in the NFC have whittled dow Now, any hopes at a deep playoff run will have to come without star wideout DeAndre Hopkins, who is on the Ray Nitschke Jerseys shelf for the remainder of the regular season and beyond.

    Hopkins, the No. 1 receiver for Arizona and Kyler Murray,is limited to just 10 regular season games this year following injury: He caught 42 pa ses for 572 yards and eight touchdowns in 2021.

    It's not the same hamstring injury that had Hopkins shelved for three games earlier in the season, but it'll keep him out a lot longer.

    How long is DeAndre Hopkins out?

    In Week 14, Hopkins suffered an MCL injury that required surgery, keeping him out for the remainder of the regular season and potentially for the remainder of the 2021 season.

    The Cardinals wide receiver, though, may make a return to the sidelines should the Cardinals make a deep playoff run: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that should the Cardinals make it to the NFC championship game, Hopkins may be able to return. Any return prior to that is "unrealistic," per Schefter's sources.

    That would put a target date of Jan. 30 for a potential return.

    What is DeAndre Hopkins' injury?

    Hopkins suffered a torn MCL in the Cardinals' Week 14 matchup with the Rams.

    It's T.J. Slaton Jerseys unclear when exactly the injury occurred, but late in the fourth quarter, two Rams defenders landed on the outstretched leg of Hopkins. He took Dominique Dafney Jerseys several moments to gather himself before limping off.

    Pretty sure this is where Hopkins' knee injury happened. Two Rams defenders landed on his leg, took some time to get up and was took some time to get to the sideline. (Unle s it happened earlier and this just made it worse)

    While the injury was originally diagnosed as a "knee sprain," it was later revealed that Hopkins suffered a torn MCL, though the severity (Grade 1, 2 or 3) is unknown.

    The MCL is one of the major ligaments of the knee, and a tear (and subsequent surgery) will keep him out of action a minimum of six weeks. Davante Adams T Shirts

    Surgery was the only option that would fully stabilize the injured knee, which will keep him out until the playoffs, and late in the playoffs, at that.
