The Arizona Cardinals lost three players to season-ending injuries during Thursday night's 22-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said Friday that left tackle D.J. Humphries has an MCL injury and a dislocated kneecap, safety Tyvon Branch suffered an ACL injury and tight end Ifeanyi Momah broke his leg during the game.

Arians said after Humphries undergoes surgery, he expects him to be ready for organized team activities in the spring.

"It's a shame because he was playing really, really well," Arians told reporters Friday.

With Humphries out, Jared Veldheer will move back from right tackle to left tackle, and John Wetzel will take over at right tackle.

Branch suffered an ACL injury but will undergo surgery to repair cartilage in his "locked" right knee on Friday, Arians said, according to ESPN. Branch will have ACL surgery at a later date.

Momah also may need reconstructive ankle surgery, Arians said.
