Defensive tackle Corey Peters is out for the 2015 season with a torn ACL.

Peters was carted off the field during Wednesday’s practice.

He was in the first year of a three-year, $10.5 million deal with the Cardinals. The sixth-year pro spent his first five seasons with the Atlanta Falcons.

Alameda Ta’amu is expected to replace Peters at nose tackle.
