Gardeck (knee) won't play in the Cardinals' season opener Sunday against the Titans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gardeck came off the Cardinals' PUP list right after Arizona's preseason finale, but he is still recovering from the ACL tear he sustained late last season. While the linebacker is nearing his return, he won't be able to play in the season opener. Expect Chandler Jones to see extended playing time with Gardeck out.
