Already thin at the position, the Arizona Cardinals took another hit in their secondary on Thursday.
The team put cornerback Antonio Hamilton on the reserve/non-football injury list after a cooking accident that left him with second degree burns on his feet. Hamilton will miss at least four games.
In a Twitter post, Hamilton said the “freak accident” happened Monday.
“I had a accident that could’ve ended up deadly for me & my family but instead I got the short end of it by having my feet severely burned (2nd degree). It was literally a freak accident and God spared me to only have these injuries,” he posted.
Hamilton, 29, played in 17 games (two starts) for the Cardinals last season, recording 38 tackles and four passes defended. He played in 29 percent of the team’s defensive snaps and 47 percent of the Cards’ special teams snaps.
Hamilton has played in 74 games (four starts) with four teams.
The Cardinals acquired CB Trayvon Mullen from the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week.
