The Arizona Cardinals believe running back Andre Ellington suffered a posterior cruciate ligament injury during the team's victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon.

He will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the injury.

A non-contact injury, Ellington, who rushed for 69 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries before his exit, crumbled at the line of scrimmage after taking a handoff from quarterback Carson Palmer.

Initially helped to the sidelines with the assistance of trainers, a limping Ellington was eventually carted to the locker room.
