TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) The Arizona Cardinals have lost two defensive starters - outside linebacker Alex Okafor and defensive tackle Cory Redding - for the playoffs.

The team placed Okafor on the non-football injury list with a toe injury and Redding on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain.

To fill the roster spots, the Cardinals signed outside linebacker Jason Babin and elevated outside linebacker Gabe Martin from the practice squad.

Okafor, one of the team's best outside pass rushers, started 13 games.
