The Arizona Cardinals are in preparation for their second preseason game on Thursday night against the Oakland Raiders

The Arizona Cardinals will be hosting the Oakland Raiders this week at State Farm Stadium. It is the second preseason game.

It will also be the last time they will be at home until they open the regular season on Sunday September 8th against the Detroit Lions. There are some things we should be on the lookout for.

Rookie receivers

Last week against the Los Angeles Chargers we got to see rookie receivers KeeSean Johnson and Hakeem Butler. Johnson outplayed Butler.

Butler missed an easy target. Johnson made a rookie mistake by catching a ball after going out of bounds first. However Johnson still looked to be ahead of Butler.

Second round pick Andy Isabella did not play due to a minor injury. He is expected to play this week, so we will get our first glimpse of him against the Raiders.

Also to keep an eye out for is tight end Caleb Wilson. He had a nice catch against the Chargers and it would be great to see him involved this week as well.
