Olisaemeka Udoh to make the roster
“Udoh has started at multiple OL spots during his career before signing with Arizona this offseason, but likely finds himself on the outside looking in.”
Eku Leota to make the roster
“He didn't make the team in our final roster projections with Eku Leota usurping him.”
Bam Knight to make the roster
“One question the Cardinals find themselves heavily debating is how many running backs they'll ultimately keep on the final roster — and if that number is indeed four, Knight clearly has that final spot taken.”
Jalen Brooks to make the roster
“The Cardinals will have some tough conversations in regards to the WR room, but if Brooks keeps pace like this, he'll end up on the roster.”
Jalen Brooks to make the roster
“Brooks has also turned up his performances during camp, putting him close to Smith-Marsette in conversations to make the final roster.”
Bam Knight to make the roster
“RB Bam Knight — Why he can make the roster: ... Arizona does plan to run the ball, often, and that could pave the way for Knight.”
Jayden Williams to make the roster
“Williams undoubtedly has secured his spot on the final 53 thanks to strong play we saw on his tape from Ole Miss.”
Eku Leota to make the roster
“Leota still needs to perform in preseason, but with BJ Ojulari's stock trending down, this could be one of the biggest surprises on the roster.”
Eku Leota to make the roster
