5. Get an early glimpse of Chandler Jones
The Cardinals newest acquisition from the New England Patriots, fans will get their first in-person look at the new look pass rush. It will be a chance to see Jones get some snaps in game action before they lace them up for real in September.
Now, you likely won’t see too much of him at UOP in the preseason as the Cardinals will play at home in the first and fourth weeks of preseason. Those are arguably the two least interesting games in the preseason to the average fan. Here’s hoping he gets some snaps in preseason week one.
