Cardinals set to face 6 of the NFL’s best edge defenders in 2022

They will face Nick Bosa twice, Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack in the same game and Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones in the same game.

The Arizona Cardinals will need to protect quarterback Kyler Murray if they are going to be great in 2022. However, they will have their hands full because they face a number of talented pass rushers off the edge.

Touchdown Wire’s Mark Schofield gives us the 11 best edge defenders in the NFL entering the 2022 season and the Cardinals will face six of them.

Who are they and when will they face them?

PODCAST: 2022 Cardinals opponent preview – Chiefs, Raiders

Jess Root sits down with Chiefs Wire’s Charles Goldman and Raider Wire’s Marcus Mosher to discuss the Cardinals’ first 2 2022 opponents.

We have the second of six 2022 opponent previews for your listening pleasure. Our last edition of the podcast was about the Arizona Cardinals’ six games and three opponents in the NFC West. In this episode of the podcast, I spoke with Chiefs Wire managing editor Charles Goldman and Raiders Wire managing editor Marcus Mosher to discuss the 2021 season, this offseason and the outlook for 2022 for both the Kansas City Chiefs and las Vegas Raiders. They are the first two AFC West opponents the Cardinals face and are their first two opponents of the 2022 season.

We even get a little insight to center Rodney Hudson, who had played for the Raiders before being traded to the Cardinals last offseason and now whose future is uncertain with the team.

We have Part 2 of the AFC opponent previews coming next week. Enjoy this episode!

Cardinals’ 2022 schedule features 4 revenge/reunion games

Their games against the Chiefs, Raiders, Saints and Vikings are revenge or reunion games for someone on either team.

Every season, there are games on the NFL schedule that are reunion or revenge games. Teams let players go in free agency or cut them.

This year is no exception. The Arizona Cardinals have let players go or cut them who will face them this season.

Of their 17 games, there are four revenge/reunion games, where a player is facing a previous team for the first time since their departure, or in reuniting with a player or coach for the first time.

Below are those such games for the Cardinals.

The 6 games WR DeAndre Hopkins will miss in 2022 with PED suspension

See which games DeAndre Hopkins will miss because of his PED suspension.

The Arizona Cardinals’ 2022 regular-season schedule has been released. It has four prime-time games. They open at home and play their final two on the road.

However, because wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins tested positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance back in November, he is suspended for the first six games of the season.

That presents a huge challenge for the Cardinals, who struggled done the stretch last season when Hopkins missed time with a hamstring injury and knee injury.

He will return to play the New Orleans Saints in Week 7 on Thursday Night Football.

Now that we know the full schedule, we know which games he will miss.

They are listed below.
