The Arizona Cardinals came away from Tampa with a 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers. They also came away with a pair of injuries to worry about. One was discussed during and after the game. The other is one we will have to wait and see on.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon spoke about two injuries after the game. Receiver and kick returner Andre Baccellia had an elbow injury but was able to return. Receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. had a heel injury and could not return.

Marvin Harrison Jr. injury
Harrison had a heel injury. During the game, he had an insert put in his shoe, according to the TV broadcast, but he had it removed. He was visibly limping on the field in the second half and even caught a pass while hurt, but he had to leave. Harrison said postgame he would get evaluated more later.
He finished with six receptions on seven targets for 69 yards, playing after missing two games following an appendectomy.
Potential Bam Knight injury
Knight did not play after he was tackled on the fourth-down run with 10:46 left in the game. He entered the game with a knee injury. After one run in the second half, he did visibly check his knee.

Knight had a solid game, rushing for 62 yards and totaling 98 offensive yards and a touchdown, including three catches for 26 yards.
We will see if we hear anything before the Cardinals' first injury report of Week 14 on Wednesday.
