Haason Reddick

Reddick likely gets the start in place of Deone Bucannon. Originally slated as a possible starter before the preseason, Reddick’s performance was not as strong as some thought it would be.

That being said, he is still the number one draft pick of the Cardinals. A lot of eyes should be on the young linebacker as he makes his regular season professional debut.

Reddick will go through some rough spots most likely but don’t be surprised if you hear his name called at least a couple of times on Sunday in Detroit. That means hearing his name because something positive happened.

You’ll certainly hear about it from coach Bruce Arians after the game if he blows assignments. Something tells me though we might see something big from the rookie at some point on Sunday.

Don’t expect him to hit out of the park right off the bat. Even if he doesn’t have a great game, remember, there will be a lot more time to improve.
