Injured C Shipley signs extension with Arizona
- Country:
- United States
The Arizona Cardinals have signed veteran center A.Q. Shipley to a one-year contract extension through the 2019 season -- torn ACL and all.
The team announced the signing Friday.
Shipley, 32, sustained the season-ending knee injury on Aug. 4 and underwent surgery five days later. He was set to become a free agent after the season.
Rookie Mason Cole, a third-round draft selection from Michigan, has taken over as the Cardinals' starting center. Before his injury, Shipley had started 32 straight games, missing just three snaps.
Shipley expressed his gratitude to the Cardinals on Twitter Friday.
"I can't say enough good things about the @AZCardinals organization. I just want to say thank you to the Bidwill family, Steve Keim, Coach Steve Wilks and the entire Cardinals organization for giving me an opportunity to continue playing the game that I love," he wrote.
