Cardinals QB Warner injures knee
NFL.com wire reports
HOUSTON (Dec. 18, 2005) -- Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner is likely out for the rest of the season after injuring his knee in a 30-19 loss to the Houston Texans.
The Cardinals were left with third-string quarterback John Navarre against Houston after Warner was injured and backup Josh McCown left the game with flulike symptoms.
Warner threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin early in the second quarter and walked off the field. He was sacked twice on Arizona's first series, and Arizona coach Dennis Green said Warner injured the medial collateral ligament in his right knee on one of those sacks.
He sat on the bench with ice on his right knee and was replaced by McCown on the next series.
Navarre entered the game on Arizona's first series of the second half and finished the game. It was the first action of the year for Navarre, a second-year player, who started one game last season. He was 14 of 24 for 174 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
McCown was ill before the game and received intravenous fluids. At halftime, he told Green that he couldn't return.
