After signing a one-year contract with the Cardinals less than a week ago , veteran RB Marlon Mack sustained a leg injury during training camp.

During a drill, Mack appeared to reach for a football thrown behind him, resulting in an awkward landing.

The 27-year-old was then seen in a boot the following day.

Unfortunately, leg injuries are nothing new for Mack, as he missed plenty of time last season. Mack was even sent to the IR in January due to a hamstring problem.

In fact, Marlon has played in more than 13 games in only two out of the six seasons of his career. Moreover, over the past three years, he has participated in a mere total of 15 games.

Stay tuned for further updates.
