The Arizona Cardinals wrap up their preseason slate with a matchup against the Green Bay Packers. This week marked the first joint practices under head coach Mike LaFleur’s tenure.
With the two teams conducting joint practices, there’s a good chance the starters don’t play in this preseason game. LaFleur already has the necessary data from these practices to get ready for the season.
He spoke about the value of these joint practices on August 18. So after getting what he needs from the two practices vs. the Packers from the starters, it will likely be a case of backups and end-of-the-roster players seeing action.
This game could decide the fate of many players on the roster bubble.

Cardinals vs. Packers: What to Watch For
This will be the final preseason game for the Cardinals. The main thing to watch for might be which players could be playing deep into this game, especially those on the 53-man roster bubble.
Some players to watch if they dress include safety Kitan Crawford, guard Jon Gaines II, running back Bam Knight, and receiver Reggie Virgil. If they don’t suit up or play, it’s likely a good sign they’ve made the club.
Cardinals Players to Watch
Edge rusher B.J. Ojulari played deep into their preseason game against the Cowboys. If he has a long runway in this preseason finale, it may indicate he’s either further down on the depth chart or about to get cut. The former second-rounder suffered a knee injury in 2024 and has been trying to catch up since.
Quarterback Gardner Minshew II will be in his final preseason tune-up. It’s just a case of getting some game reps before the season starts. Minshew is firmly entrenched as the backup to Jacoby Brissett to start the 2026 season.
Running back Corey Kiner will make his final case to make the roster. The Cardinals are dealing with injuries to Jeremiyah Love and James Conner. It’s unclear which of the two will be ready to play in their Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. If Kiner ends up on the practice squad, then he’s an early-season elevation candidate.
