The Arizona Cardinals will have a new starting right guard this week against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Will Hernandez suffered a season-ending knee injury in the team’s Week 5 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
It appears that the Cardinals will use a bit of a rotation at right guard moving forward.
Trystan Colon is listed as the starting right guard but the Cardinals are also expected to give rookie Isaiah Adams, one of the team’s third-round picks this year, playing time.
Gannon is “excited for those guys to play.”
Using a rotation is nothing new for the Cardinals. Last season, when Elijah Wilkinson was healthy late last season, Colon would come in and play for a series or two.
Expect that to be the case this weekend and moving forward. Colon will start and Adams will get some time.
The Cardinals and Packers kick off from Lambeau Field Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
