Revenge of the Birds
The preseason does a bunch of things, but one thing it inevitably does is test your depth. For the Arizona Cardinals, after just one preseason game, they are being tested heading into their second preseason game.
Jonathan Gannon talked about the Cardinals injury situation coming out of their preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
The biggest ones we are seeing are along the reloaded defensive front, and the big one is obviously Dalvin Tomlinson, who was one of the crown jewels of the offseason.
We don’t know the extent, and we likely won’t, but we do know he will miss some practice time.
The issue is not necessarily Tomlinson himself, but the fact that with Tomlinson now banged up, Justin Jones missing time, Bilal Nichols still not practicing and Walter Nolen still dealing with a calf injury, the reshaped defensive front is now the same as last year, with Calais Campbell.
Now, as long as Tomlinson is ready game one, that is no issues, but it is something to keep an eye on over the next couple of weeks.
