Defensive Line (7)

Starters: Zach Allen, Jordan Phillips, Corey Peters

Backups: Leki Fotu, Jonathan Bullard, Michael Dogbe, Rashard Lawrence

Cut: Miles Brown, Trevon Coley

For the most part, this group should be set. Miles Brown is the only one that really could join this group.

Zach Allen comes into his second season ready to show what he can do. He barely had a chance in 2019 as a rookie. It was cut short thanks to an injury after playing in just four games.

Jordan Phillips and Lei Fotu could be the most exciting players from this group. Fotu was drafted from the University of Utah and eventually could push for a starting spot.

Peters enters his 11th season in the NFL, his fifth with the Cardinals. He’s had 2.5 sacks each of the last two seasons, both of which he has remained relatively healthy.

As for Brown, it could come down to him or Lawrence. Whichever one doesn’t make the final 53 could land on the practice sqaud.
