Where: Mercedes-Benz Superdome – New Orleans, Louisiana

When: 5:00 p.m. (MST) Friday August 17th

TV: (Phoenix) – NBC 12 (KPNX), Dave Pasch (play-by-play), Ron Wolfley (color analyst), Paul Gerke (sidelines);

The plan for the Cardinals is to have Sam Bradford start at quarterback and play longer than the one series he spent on the field last Saturday.  However backup Josh Rosen will also play and get some time with the first unit.

Certainly that plan is a smart move.  Rosen struggled to find time to throw the ball and move around with the second unit against the Chargers.

The Saints are lead by quarterback Drew Brees once again.  It was still up in the air as of Wednesday whether or not he would play against the Cardinals.  He sat out the Saints preseason opener.
