GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Two of the Arizona Cardinals’ most significant offseason acquisitions are injured, one of them — starting nose tackle Corey Peters — is lost for the season.

Peters tore his left Achilles tendon in practice Wednesday. Starting left guard Mike Iupati will undergo surgery for a torn left meniscus. Iupati was hurt in Tuesday’s practice.

Coach Bruce Arians said Iupati is out three to eight weeks, meaning he could miss the first five games of the season.

Peters tore an Achilles for the second time in three seasons. He tore his right Achilles tendon late in the 2013 campaign.
