Arizona Cardinals: New projected 53-man roster
By Scott Allen
Offense
QB (3): Carson Palmer, Drew Stanton, Blaine Gabbert
We now know Stanton has won the backup job. Gabbert will stick around. He could come in handy down the road.
RB (4): David Johnson, Kerwynn Williams, Andre Ellington, Elijhaa Penny
That’s right, no Chris Johnson. Remember this is just a prediction. He truly could be one of the last decisions the Cardinals make. If the Cardinals keep CJ2K, then Penny likely is on the practice squad.
WR (6): Larry Fitzgerald, Jaron Brown, John Brown, J.J. Nelson, Chad Williams, Brittan Golden
Just a hunch but the Cardinals last receiver spot will be won by Golden. The only other choice here would be Jeremy Ross.
OL (8): A.Q. Shipley, D.J. Humphries, Mike Iupati, Evan Boehm, Jared Veldheer, Dorian Johnson, Will Holden, John Wetzel,
One name missing here is Cole Toner. He’s not played very well this preseason. Many will have Toner making the team though. If he does, it’s bye-bye John Wetzel.
TE (3): Jermaine Gresham, Troy Niklas, Ifeanyi Momah
The only question that remains here is will the Cardinals keep a fourth tight end? If they do, don’t be surprised to see Gerald Christian. A practice squad invite seems more likely for him however.
