The Arizona Cardinals were able to pull off an overtime upset against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8, but it has come at a big cost.
According to NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN, Cardinals veteran wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, who suffered a non-contact injury in the waning moments of the first half, has a fractured tibia that will sideline him three months and end his season.

It's certainly not the news the Cardinals were hoping for as fellow wide receiver Michael Wilson revealed after the game that he has two broken ribs and the team already traded away wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans a couple of weeks ago.
Bourne has played well for Arizona this season, recording 26 receptions for 263 yards through the first eight weeks of the regular season.
However, the Cardinals wide receiver room has quickly become very bleak as they will now be forced to rely on an injured Wilson and veterans Reggie Virgil, Simi Fehoko and Devin Duvernay.

Bourne signed a two-year, $10 million contract worth up to $12 million with the Cardinals in March, providing a ton of experience and production to the room.
Arizona may have to look elsewhere to add to the room, though, as injuries continue to pile up.
An undrafted free agent in the 2017 NFL Draft, Bourne has recorded 355 catches for 4,528 yards and 22 touchdowns in his professional career.
