FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- Arizona Cardinals starting offensive tackle Oliver Ross will have surgery to repair a torn triceps tendon on Thursday.
The Cardinals don't know when Ross will return, and it's possible he will miss the entire season. Levi Brown, the team's top draft choice this year, has become the starter at right tackle.
Meanwhile, receiver Ahmad Merritt had surgery Monday on his broken right ankle, coach Ken Whisenhunt said. Merritt was hurt in a 33-20 preseason loss to Houston on Saturday.
