Freeney Signed to Compensate for Okafor's Absence
The Cardinals quickly compensated for the loss of Okafor on Oct. 12 by signing veteran pass-rusher Dwight Freeney, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.

Arizona (6-2) sits atop the NFC West thanks in large part to its stingy defense, which will welcome Okafor back into the fold.
