TEMPE, Ariz. Washington Redskins Jerseys . -- Jonathan Coopers rookie season might not be over after all. Arizona coach Bruce Arians said Monday that the Cardinals first-round draft pick could be back for the final six games of the season after undergoing surgery on his broken left leg. The seventh overall pick in the draft was injured in Saturday nights 24-7 preseason loss to the San Diego Chargers. Arians said Daryn Colledge will move back to Coopers left guard spot, with Paul Fanaika taking the right guard position. Colledge played on the left side his entire seven-year NFL career but was moved to right guard after Arizona drafted Cooper. Chilo Rachal also is in the mix at right guard. Six other Arizona players were hurt in the game, the most significant being tight end Rob Housler with a high left ankle sprain. Running back Rashard Mendenhall has a sprained right knee but is expected to be ready for the season opener Sept. 8 at St. Louis. Neither Housler nor Mendenhall will play in Thursday nights preseason finale at Denver, Arians said. Cooper underwent surgery Sunday. Arians said the prognosis is for Cooper to be sidelined 10 to 12 weeks. At 12 weeks, he could return for the Nov. 24 home game against Indianapolis. At the very least, Cooper would get some experience. "We dont want him to be a rookie next year," Arians said. "That was the big thing for losing him the whole season is hes a rookie again next year. Hopefully now that wont be the case." Still, its a significant loss for the Cardinals, who saw Cooper as an anchor on a re-tooled offensive line that will be so important in protecting quarterback Carson Palmer, as well as resuscitating the dormant Arizona running game. Cooper, Arians said, was giving the Cardinals "all the value you put in that pick." "The athleticism, the strength, the toughness," Arians said. "Hes got a bright future." Colledge doesnt have Coopers exceptional athleticism "but hes more than adequate," the coach said. Colledge said it shouldnt be a problem moving back to the left side, where hes accustomed to playing. "It should be an easy transition for me," he said. "I expect to fit right back in there and get it done. But Im going to keep working on the right side in case the situation goes the other direction, too. I need to be prepared to play either side of the ball." Fanaika has been one of the bigger surprises for the Cardinals. The former Arizona State lineman played in three games for Seattle in 2011 but was out of football last season. He was moved from tackle back to the guard position he played in college and impressed the Cardinals coaches when he filled in while Colledge was out with a hairline leg fracture for two weeks in training camp. "Pauls played extremely well at camp, had a bunch of snaps," Arians said. "Were confident hes a solid player." Fanaika said he wasnt sure hed get another chance in the NFL. "But I kept my faith and believed in myself and knew that I still had a lot of good football left in me," he said. High ankle sprains can keep a player out several weeks, and Housler was unsure what that meant for his chances of being ready for the season opener. "I think Ill have a better grasp for it when the swelling goes down," he said. "Right now Im just waiting to see how it all pans out the next few days." Nose tackle Dan Williams aggravated the right ankle he sprained earlier in camp but Arians believed he would be fine. Wide receiver Andre Roberts (quadriceps) and outside linebacker/defensive end Matt Shaughnessy (ankle) are fine, Arians said. Rookie tight end D.C. Jefferson has a mild knee sprain but hopes to play Thursday. "Its a big game for a lot of the younger guys," Arians said. Geron Christian Redskins Jersey .

With his father watching from the stands, Harrison homered, doubled, single and drove in a career-high five runs to lead the Pirates to a 8-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. The Pirates are holding the teams annual Father & Son Weekend during this series, with the dads of numerous players, including Harrisons, on the trip. Harrisons father sat near his locker in the clubhouse after the game with a big smile on his face. "It is always special to play well in front of my dad," Harrison said. "Hes seen me play plenty of times, but you still always want to do well." Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said it "was a big show up night" for Harrison as each of three hits came with two outs. "Those are game-changers," Hurdle said. "It was a very big night for Josh. It was fun to watch." Andrew McCutchen also homered for Pittsburgh, which had lost nine of 12 going into the series against the NL Central-leading Brewers. With the win, Pittsburgh now trails Milwaukee by five games. Jeff Locke (5-3) pitched six strong innings, giving up two runs and two hits. He walked six, but was able to strand five runners. Yovani Gallardo (8-7) lasted just five innings, allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks. Ryan Brauns two-run homer in the first inning gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead. It was his 16th home run of the season, but just his second since July 22 as hes been slowed by a sore thumb. Pittsburgh came right back in the second for 3-2 lead, taking advantage of Gallardos wildnesss as he issued two straight walk after an error by third baseman Aramis Ramirez. Troy Apke Jersey. Jody Mercer hit a sacrifice fly and Harrison lined a two-run double. The Pirates made it 4-2 on Neil Walkers RBI triple in the third and Harrison singled home a run in the fourth. McCutchen hit his 18th home run of the season leading off the fifth. It was his third game since coming off the disabled list because of a rib fracture and it was his first home run since he hit two against Cincinnati on July 12. Harrison hit a two-run homer in the eighth. WALK THIS WAY The Pirates won despite issuing eight walks and recording only one strikeout. Hurdle said he cannot remember winning a game with those type of stats.
