These three Arizona Cardinals will need to step up this Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings

We’ve now reached the third preseason game of 2019 for the Arizona Cardinals.  For some veterans, this could be the last chance for them to show what they can do.

Some will be given week four as well, however week three is typically when starters play longer, some as long as half.  Guys will have their best shot at throwing their best foot forward against the best competition available.

Pharoh Cooper

The receiver who came to the Cardinals last season mainly as a return specialist, has an outside shot at making the team.  He will have to pretty much be spotless in his performance these last two weeks.

Cooper has speed but there is a reason the Los Angeles Rams couldn’t find room for him.  He could be out of luck either way if the Cardinals find a veteran receiver soon.

He may lose out to Damiere Byrd.  The special teams factor though could save him so he is definitely one to watch on Saturday.
