Drake was carted to the locker room with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against Seattle, John Weinfuss of ESPN reports.
Drake went down in agony after converting on a 4th-and-1 play. He was helped to the sideline and went to the locker room on the cart soon after. Drake had 14 carries for 34 yards and a seven-yard catch on two targets before exiting. The team didn't have an update on the starting running back's status after the game, but even the benefit of extra time to heal with the Cardinals on bye in Week 8 may not be enough for Drake to get back into game action in Week 9 against the Dolphins. Chase Edmonds took on a larger role after Drake's exit and would take over as the starter if Drake -- who was sobbing with his head in his hands on the sideline, per Mason Kern of SI.com -- is forced to miss any additional time.
