53-man Cardinals roster projections after 2 preseason games

The Cardinals have only one preseason game left and less than a week to make final roster decisions.

The Arizona Cardinals have played two preseason games and are less than a week away from having to cut their roster down to 53 players. They have a number of difficult decisions to make at several positions and injuries will impact things.

If they have a player who they want to place on injured reserve but have him eligible to return in as early as after missing four games, they will have to make the initial 53-man roster. Eight players can be designated for return this year.

Below are my latest 53-man roster predictions for the Cardinals, with explanations at each position.
