Zeke Turner

The Cardinals secondary has taken a couple of hits at cornerback.  That might bode well for an extra spot at linebacker.  We’ll see.  Turner still sits on the third line of the Cardinals depth chart.

However after Thursday night’s game maybe Turner is headed in the right direction.  He lead the team with seven tackles in the loss to the Raiders.

He was all over the field making plays.  The Cardinals need a young active linebacker like him.  While his skills may not be completely up to par with some of the veterans, Turner still has potential.

It could come down to Turner or Dennis Gardeck for one of the final spots at linebacker.  That would be a tough choice to make between to two of them.

Next. Some Arizona Cardinals getting complacent. dark

Both Gardeck and Turner were on the roster in 2018 but with the additions made in the offseason, it would be hard to see both of them on the 53-man roster unless they wanted to keep one less cornerback or safety.
