The Arizona Cardinals have made improvements on both offense and defense. Their interior offensive line will be tested in the 2024 season. Will Hernandez at right guard, Hjalte Froholdt at center and perhaps Evan Brown at left guard will need to protect quarterback Kyler Murray from some of the best interior pass rushers in the NFL.
The Cardinals will play nine games against six of the league’s top eight interior rushers, according to Doug Farrar and Greg Cosell for Touchdown Wire.
Check out who below and when they will face them.
