The Arizona Cardinals appear to have dodged a bullet as an MRI has revealed quarterback Drew Stanton has a sprained right knee and is considered week to week, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

"Huge relief," one person familiar with Stanton's MRI said Friday.
Stanton suffered the injury during Thursday night's 12-6 win over the St. Louis Rams, on a sack by defensive lineman Aaron Donald with 8:41 left in the third quarter. He hopped off the field on his left leg, not putting any weight on his right knee. After being examined by team doctors and trainers, Stanton was carted to the locker room and eventually ruled out.
Third-year quarterback Ryan Lindley took over and finished 4-for-10 passing for 30 yards in his first game action since 2012. Stanton was 12-for-20 for 109 yards before leaving the game.
