The Arizona Cardinals will have their depth at outside linebacker tested this week when they host the Kansas City Chiefs for their second preseason game of the year.
They will play this game without outside linebacker Chandler Jones.
He suffered an injury during practice on Monday. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury does not give details about them in the preseason and training camp. Reporters saw something happen, but it happened in the closed portion of practice so they can’t report about it.
But Kingsbury said, “I do not expect him to play (Friday),” although he added it was “nothing serious.” He was not on the field for the open part of practice Tuesday.
Jones was held out of the preseason opener along with other top starters on the team, so it seems like he will not get any work in the preseason this year.
Markus Golden also missed on Tuesday. Kingsbury also said his issue was “nothing serious” and that he would be a game-time decision to play against the Chiefs on Friday.
With no Jones and possibly no Golden, that would mean a likely starting lineup of Devon Kennard and Kylie Fitts or perhaps rookie Victor Dimukeje.
