Fitzgerald left the the Cardinals' 14-6 win over the Detroit Lions after taking a hit in the final two minutes of the first half. He was able to return in the second half and made a game-sealing first-down reception on third-and-11 with two-and-a half minutes remaining.
Fitzgerald, who was reportedly walking fine after the game, was convinced he would be able to play through the injury, according to ESPN.
“Larry came back and played, so we’ll see how sore he is Monday,” said head coach Bruce Arians after the game.
The 31-year-old vet, who became the second-youngest player to reach 12,000 yards on Sunday, finished with two receptions for 33 yards on Sunday. He leads the team with 46 receptions for 658 yards and is an important security blanket for Drew Stanton, who's filling in for the injured Carson Palmer.
