Cardinals, Denver Broncos and Arizona
Digest more
After an ugly loss to the Denver Broncos this weekend, the Arizona Cardinals have just one week until cut day. This is our latest roster projection.
Carter had a 5-yard run, but seven other carries totaled only five yards. He added 19 yards on five receptions. Demercado played as much as he did because of his ability as a pass protector. The running backs totaled 29 yards on 15 attempts.
The Arizona Cardinals lost their second preseason game Saturday night, a 27-7 defeat to the Denver Broncos in which they allowed 562 yards and only gained 135. They didn't play any of their starters expect for rookie cornerback Will Johnson and new linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither.
On defense, watch safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. He will look a lot like Budda Baker in his play style. He is likely the No. 3 edge guy in the rotation behind Josh Sweat and Zaven Collins. He will play a lot.
Jarrett Stidham threw two touchdown passes and had 240 yards as the Broncos hosted the Arizona Cardinals in Denver on Saturday night and defeated them for their second preseason win.
If Cardinals rookie defensive lineman Walter Nolen III has any hope at being ready by Week 1, coming off the PUP list this week is a good start.
The Broncos' offense moved the ball with ease regardless of who was in the game, averaging 7.8 yards per play and going three-and-out just once on the night. Arizona's defense had a tough time stopping Denver particularly in the first half, where the Broncos scored on their first four-of-five drives.
