Leinart sidelined by collarbone injury

ST. LOUIS -- Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart injured his left collarbone while getting sacked late in the first half of Sunday's 34-31 win over the St. Louis Rams.

He returned to the sidelines after halftime, wearing a T-shirt and shorts and with his arm in a sling.

Leinart was hurt on a sack for a 9-yard loss by blitzing Rams linebacker Will Witherspoon, which knocked the Cardinals back to their 7. He was replaced by Kurt Warner, who earlier in the second quarter led the Cardinals to their first touchdown.

Leinart, the Cardinals' first-round pick in 2006, walked off the field with his left arm held close to his chest. He was 7-for-13 passing for 100 yards and an interception.
