Arizona Cardinals: Predicting the 53-man roster at mid-preseason
By Scott Allen
The Arizona Cardinals are now halfway through the preseason with just two games remaining for players to challenge for a regular season roster spot
It is still tough to say in some spots how the Arizona Cardinals will lean in terms of numbers of players they will keep at each position. What we do know is that players on the bubble are down to two games to show whether they belong or not.
Some guys who deserve spots won’t get one. That’s just life in the NFL unfortunately. The good thing is they aren’t just fighting for spots on the Cardinals roster but for others as well.
Play well and they should get noticed by others. There is also the practice squad where as many as 10 players can be added once the preseason ends.
Now, not all 10 players will come from Cardinals camp. Some will come off the waiver wire from other teams.
The Cardinals will face the Dallas Cowboys this Friday in Texas and then finish off the preseason at home on August 30th against the Denver Broncos. Once the preseason ends on that evening, the Cardinals will have until Saturday September 1st at 1:00 pm., less than 48-hours after the final preseason game, to reduce the roster to 53 players.
