Arizona placed Gillikin (foot) on injured reserve Saturday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Gillikin suffered a foot injury last Sunday in a loss to the Seahawks and didn't practice at all this week. His placement on IR means Gillikin could return to action during the current campaign only if the currently 6-7 Cardinals make the playoffs. Arizona elevated Michael Palardy off the practice squad Saturday to serve as the team's punter Sunday against the Patriots.

Gillikin (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus New England, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Gillikin hurt his foot in the first half of Sunday's loss to Seattle and didn't return. Placekicker Chad Ryland handled punting duties for Arizona for the remainder of that contest, but the team signed Michael Palardy to the practice squad this week, and he likely will be called upon to punt Sunday against the Patriots.
