Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds to miss multiple games with high ankle sprain?

Despite being without star quarterback Kyler Murray and All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins because of injury issues, the Arizona Cardinals improved to 8-1 on the season via Sunday's 31-17 win at the San Francisco 49ers. Arizona encountered a new setback, however, when running back Chase Edmonds tweaked his ankle early in the game. 

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, tests confirmed Edmonds has a high ankle sprain and will likely miss multiple contests while recovering. Arizona hosts a 4-5 Carolina Panthers side that may soon bench quarterback Sam Darnold this coming Sunday.
