Hall of Fame Game: Arizona Cardinals players to watch
With 35 Cardinals players not expected to suit up in the Hall of Fame Game, here are some players to keep an eye on.
The Arizona Cardinals will face the Carolina Panthers in the Hall of Fame Game, set to kick off at 8 p.m. ET in Canton, Ohio. Head coach Mike LaFleur expects roughly 35 players on the roster not to play. Key players to watch include starting quarterback Carson Beck, who will make his NFL debut after successfully navigating 43 college games between Georgia and Miami.
Quarterback backup Bam Knight will vie for the fourth running back spot, competing against Trey Benson, Corey Kiner, and Edward Hull. Wide receiver Reggie Virgil, the Cardinals' fifth-round pick, has impressed recently and could earn a roster spot, particularly on special teams. Offensive tackles Jayden Williams and Josh Fryar, both rostered last season, will be tested on live action.
For the defensive line, linebacker Jordan Burch, a third-round pick, showed promise despite lacking intensity as a rookie. Linebacker BJ Ojulari, who has been sidelined by injuries, will make his preseason return in this game. Lastly, cornerback Elijah Jones, now in his third NFL season, could prove his mettle in this matchup, given the crowded cornerback position.
