Offensive Line (10)

Starters: Mason Cole, Justin Pugh, D.J. Humphries, J.R. SweezyKelvin Beachum

Backups: Josh Jones, Lamont Gaillard, Max Garcia, Justin Murray, Joshua Miles

Cut: Brett Toth, Koda Martin, Sam Jones

If this group can stay healthy, and as always that’s a big if with this team, the Cardinals easily could have 10 guys that could play at anytime.  Justin Murray is likely fighting Kelvin Beachum for the right tackle spot.

Jones will be a starter eventually at right tackle but the rookie needs to be given time to develop.  Garica missed last season with an injury, so it will be interesting to see how he performs.

Humphries returns at left tackle, Cole at center, Pugh at left guard, and Sweezy at right guard.  Again, injuries will be key to avoid.  Humphries and Pugh have dealt with them in recent times.

Gaillard looks to backup Cole at center.  Murray has versatility so if someone does go down, he could fill in either side of center at tackle or guard.
