Matthias Farley

An undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, Farley knows he has an uphill battle to make either the 53-man roster or the practice squad for the Cardinals.  His Friday night performance went one step in the right direction towards one of them.

Farley was second on the team in tackles with four. Those four however included one tackle for a loss.  It was one of only two tackles for a loss the Cardinals had all evening against the Raiders.

Farley has a decent shot of getting onto the practice squad.  Despite depth help needed in the secondary, there just may not be enough room in the end for Farley.  He still has three more games though to prove otherwise.
