Cardinals’ Walter Nolen re-injures left calf/leg/knee? What we know.
Walter Nolen of the Arizona Cardinals may have re-injured his left leg, which could be a setback to his recovery from last year's injury.
Fantasy Implication reviewed impact -0.3
Walter Nolen is a rookie defensive tackle for Arizona, not an offensive skill player, so this has zero relevance in standard fantasy formats. The only fantasy context where this matters is IDP (Individual Defensive Player) leagues, where Nolen was drafted as a developmental DT with some early-season snap count intrigue. A re-aggravation of a calf/knee issue would further delay his path to significant playing time, which was already limited behind Arizona's veteran defensive line rotation (Osa Odighizuwa, others). In IDP formats, this pushes his opportunity to accrue tackle/pressure stats further down the road and makes him a low-priority stash rather than an active roster piece.
