TEMPE, Ariz., Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner will miss the rest of the season due to a right knee injury.

The Cardinals put Warner on injured reserve Tuesday.

Warner left Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Houston Texans in the second quarter. He had led Arizona on a touchdown drive, but was replaced by backup Josh McCown after going a perfect 10-for-10 for 115 yards with the TD.

The injury is not considered serious, but the Cardinals are being cautious. With nothing left to play for other than draft position, Arizona is expected to start McCown on Saturday against Philadelphia.

Warner missed four games earlier this season with a groin injury and the team went 2-2 during his absence. He has passed for 2,713 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 10 games this season -- his first with Arizona.
