Cardinals' Troy Niklas: Placed on IR

The Cardinals placed Niklas (wrist) on injured reserve Tuesday, the team's official site reports.

Analysis:

Each team is able to activate one player from injured reserve under new league rules, but the Cardinals are unlikely to do so with Niklas, who is slated for at least four months of rehab on his wrist, according to Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 Phoenix. In any case, Niklas wasn't making inroads on starting tight end Darren Fells and recorded precisely no yards on his sole catch this season. In a corresponding move, Ifeanyi Momah was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.
