Thursday night officially marks the start of the preseason for the Arizona Cardinals, as they’ll take on the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL Hall of Fame Game in Canton.
Every starter and a couple of the backups will watch the game from the sideline, and while that will ultimately make the contest a little underwhelming, it will provide Cardinals fans a good look at the team’s second- and third-stringers and players fighting to make the final 53-man roster.
As such, it’s a good time to take a look at Arizona’s depth chart. It’s worth noting that many of the spots behind the starters are constantly in flux at this time of the year, but this should still provide a good idea of where players stand heading into the preseason.
