CARDINALS’ FOSTER OUT FOR SEASON

-

ARIZ.» Coach Steve TEMPE,

Wilks says Cardinals running back D.J. Foster is out for the season with a torn ACL and MCL and defensive end Arthur Moats is expected to miss two to four weeks with a sprained MCL.

Both were injured in the Cardinals’ 27-3 victory at Dallas on Sunday night.

Foster, who played collegiate­ly at Arizona State, was fighting for a roster spot when he went down with the knee injury. Foster appeared in seven games for the Cardinals last season, rushing for 19 yards on six carries and catching 19 passes for 133 yards.

Moats signed a one-year contract with Arizona last month. He has played eight seasons in the NFL, four with Buffalo and the last four with Pittsburgh.

OBJ gets paid.

Odell Beckham Jr. of the Giants is now the NFL’s highestpai­d wide receiver.

A person familiar with the negotiatio­ns told The Associated Press on Monday the team agreed to a five-year contract extension with the three-time Pro Bowler.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Giants have not announced the deal, which comes less than two weeks before the season opener against Jacksonvil­le. While terms were not disclosed, the deal with the 25-year-old, 2014 firstround­er is worth about $95 million with $65 million guaranteed.

Beckham’s $19 million average salary would top the $17 million earned by Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers. His $95 million deal also tops the $82.5 million deal receiver Mike Evans has with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Beckham, who missed most of last season with a broken left ankle, was scheduled to make $8.4 million in the final year of his rookie contract.

More bad Luck.

Colts quarterbac­k Andrew Luck missed Monday’s practice with an injured foot.

Coach Frank Reich says Luck was hurt during Saturday’s victory over San Francisco and indicated it was a minor injury. He says Luck would play if the Colts had a regular-season game Sunday.

Luck had already been ruled out for Thursday night’s preseason finale at Cincinnati.

He has missed 26 of Indy’s past 45 regular-season games with an assortment of injuries, including a partially torn labrum that required surgery in January 2017. That injury kept Luck off the field all of last season.

But Luck’s throwing shoulder has held up throughout the preseason, despite taking some hard hits. — The Associated Press
