Cardinals' 1st-rounder Nkemdiche to miss 2 weeks with ankle injury

The Arizona Cardinals' first-round pick from this year, defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche, will miss around two weeks of training camp after suffering a high ankle sprain, head coach Bruce Arians told reporters Saturday.

Nkemdiche suffered the injury earlier this week, and was seen in a walking boot Friday.

The minor setback shouldn't stop the 21-year-old becoming a major contributor on the Cardinals' defensive front during his rookie year.

Arians also announced that cornerback Mike Jenkins had broken his hand, but gave no timetable for the veteran's return, and that tight end Jermaine Gresham will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of a hamstring injury.
