Cardinals placed C Lyle Sendlein on injured reserve with a torn MCL, ending his season.
The injury will require surgery. Sendlein is hardly a dominant center, but this is just another big loss to a terrible Cardinals offensive line that can't afford it. Signed to a new five-year, $16.25 million deal two offseasons ago, Sendlein had not missed a start since 2007, his rookie season. Mon, Nov 26, 2012 04:33:00 PM

Lyle Sendlein - C - Cardinals

Cardinals agreed to terms with C Lyle Sendlein on a multi-year contract.

One less candidate for the Bears and 49ers. Undrafted out of Texas in 2007, Sendlein has emerged as an offensive leader and perhaps the only credible pass blocker on Arizona's offensive line. The 27-year-old has some work to do as a run blocker, but this was an important signing for Kevin Kolb.

Lyle Sendlein - C - Cardinals

Free agent Lyle Sendlein graded out as the third-best pass-blocking center in the NFL last season, according to Pro Football Focus.

He was the lone stalwart on one of the worst pass-blocking units in the league. The Cardinals realize Sendlein's value, naming him offensive captain along with Larry Fitzgerald last season. Arizona is believed to have a "good chance" of re-signing the four-year veteran.

Lyle Sendlein - C - Cardinals

Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com believes that the team has a "good chance" to re-sign free agent C Lyle Sendlein.

Free agent guards Deuce Lutui and Alan Faneca are "much bigger unknowns," according to the team's website. Sendlein was tendered as a restricted free agent after four years of service. The ease with which the Cards are able to re-sign him will depend on whether there's a new CBA or the lockout is rescinded in court. A new CBA would likely make Sendlein unrestricted.

Lyle Sendlein - C - Cardinals

The Cardinals believe they have a good chance to re-sign impending free agent C Lyle Sendlein and RG Deuce Lutui.

Both players are likely to be unrestricted in free agency. They may have already been locked up if not for the 30 percent rule, however. The Cardinals are also trying to convince Alan Faneca to come back, with the idea of returning the entire offensive line. Unfortunately, it remains a subpar unit.

Lyle Sendlein - C - Cardinals

Cardinals re-signed restricted free agent C Lyle Sendlein to a one-year, $1.684 million contract.

The former undrafted free agent from Texas hasn't missed a start over the last two seasons. Sendlein, 26, is a candidate for an extension this summer.

Lyle Sendlein - C - Cardinals

The Cardinals have extended a second-round tender to restricted free agent C Lyle Sendlein.

A technically sound overachiever, Sendlein has held onto Arizona's starting center job for the last two years after going undrafted out of Texas in 2007.

Lyle Sendlein - C - Cardinals

Cardinals C Lyle Sendlein has recovered from offseason shoulder surgery and is participating in training camp.

Sendlein played through a torn labrum and shoulder muscle for the majority of last season, and didn't miss a start. He won't face competition in camp.

Lyle Sendlein - C - Cardinals

Cardinals C Lyle Sendlein revealed that he underwent shoulder surgery "several months ago."

In addition to a torn labrum, Sendlein also tore his supraspinatus muscle off the bone in the fourth game of the season. Sendlein obviously has a good excuse for his weak run-blocking last season, and he impressed the team with his toughness. The center insists that he's stronger now than he was before the surgery.

Lyle Sendlein - C - Cardinals

The Cardinals extended tenders to exclusive rights free agent C Lyle Sendlein, FB Tim Castille, LB Pago Togafau, and OT Elliot Vallejo.

Vallejo and Togafau are both projects. Sendlein will likely start for a second straight season and be a great bargain. He'll cost less than $400,000.
