Cardinals set to face three of league’s top edge rushers in 2021

From Week 5 to Week 9, the Cardinals have four games in five weeks against three of the NFL’s best edge rushers entering 2021.

The Arizona Cardinals prepare for their 2021 season. They feel confident in their two tackles — left tackles D.J. Humphries and right tackle Kelvin Beachum — to protect the edge and allow quarterback Kyler Murray to remain upright to make plays down the field, either with his arm or his legs.

Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar ranked the top edge defenders in the league. The Cardinals will have four games against three of them. In fact, these four games happen within a five-game span.

Cardinals’ preseason opener set vs. Packers

They open the preseason Saturday, August 15 at 10 a.m. Arizona time at Lambeau Field.

When the Arizona Cardinals released their 2020 schedule, their four preseason games were not set, except for a date range. While the team has not announced the exact dates and times of their preseason slate, we now know when they play their opener.

The Green Bay Packers, whom the Cardinals play on the road in their preseason opener, set their schedule.

The Cardinals will open the preseason at Lambeau Field on Saturday, August 15 at 10 a.m. Arizona time .

Assuming the preseason will be able to be held, we now can set our calendars.

Likewise, with the set date of the Cardinals’ preseason opener, we can also know when the Cardinals could open training camp. Teams are allowed to open camp 15 days before their first preseason game. That would mean the Cardinals could report on July 31 and have their first practice on August 1.

The Cardinals host the Kansas City Chiefs in their second preseason game, travel to play the Las Vegas Raiders in their third game and host the Denver Broncos in their preseason finale.
