Arizona Cardinals face trade rumors and injury concerns

The Arizona Cardinals are facing roster uncertainty heading into the upcoming season. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett may become trade bait if the team fails to become competitive this year. Despite a 1-11 record last season, Brissett recorded 3,366 passing yards and 23 touchdowns, maintaining the NFL’s all-time lowest interception rate. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler suggests the team might look toward rookie Carson Beck if they decide to evaluate the position for the future.

On the offensive line, starting right guard Isaiah Adams is dealing with a knee injury that has caused him to miss multiple practices. His availability for the Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Chargers is currently in doubt. If Adams cannot play, Jon Gaines II is expected to start at right guard. The team's depth is further challenged following a season-ending knee injury to Chase Bisontiss during the preseason.
