Cardinals LB Markus Golden suffered fractured toe after dropping kettlebell on foot
For Arizona Cardinals linebacker Markus Golden, the end of the week has included some good news and some bad news.
The eighth-year pro reportedly agreed to a one-year contract extension worth up to $6.5 million on Friday. However, he also recently suffered a bizarre, unfortunate toe injury.
The incident continues a trend of odd injuries to occur to NFL players -- particularly in the NFC -- to occur in the last 24 hours or so.
Golden was selected by the Cardinals in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft and spent the first four years of his career with the organization. He joined the New York Giants ahead of the 2019 campaign before being traded back to Arizona October 2020.
Golden finished the 2021 season with 48 combined tackles, 19 quarterback hits, 11.0 sacks and four forced fumbles across 16 games (five starts).
