Fotu suffered a broken hand in Sunday's loss to the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Fotu missed the remainder of the loss to Houston following the injury, but there's a chance he requires surgery and is able to play through it with a brace or club on his hand. The fourth-year lineman has 25 tackles (15 solo), including five TFLs and a career-best 2.5 sacks, through 10 games.

Fotu was considered questionable to play Sunday after he sat out the Week 2 loss to the Giants with a shoulder injury.

Cardinals' Leki Fotu: Status in question for Week 3
Rotowire
Fotu (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Cowboys, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Fotu was inactive Week 2 versus the Giants after being listed as a limited practice participant on all three of the Cardinals' injury reports prior to that game. He managed a similar on-field regimen this week, so it remains to be seen if he'll be able to reenter Arizona's defensive line mix Sunday.

Cardinals' Leki Fotu: Put on reserve/COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Fotu was added to the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
Fotu was listed as a close contact to a player who caught COVID-19, so he had to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The second-year defensive tackle appeared in 11 games last season, tallying 11 tackles and one sack. Any time he's forced to miss should give undrafted rookie Cam Murray more chances to earn a roster spot with the Cardinals.

Cardinals' Leki Fotu: Trending in right direction
Rotowire
Fotu (ankle) has been designated for a return from injured reserve by the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Fotu has missed the last three games with the ankle issue but returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since the injury. The Cardinals will have 21 days to activate Fotu, so he could return as early as Sunday's game against the Rams. His return won't affect much from a defensive perspective, as Fotu has supplied just five tackles (two solo) this campaign.
