The Arizona Cardinals announced a pair of roster moves ahead of their Week 3 game against the Detroit Lions. They announced that tackles Jackson Barton and Charlie Heck were elevated from the practice squad. It is the second straight week that Barton has been elevated.
With the elevation of both Barton and Heck, it would appear that the Cardinals will not have right tackle Kelvin Beachum, questionable to play with a hamstring injury.
That means the Cardinals will face Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who has 5.5 sacks through two games, with a third-string right tackle.
Beachum replaced Jonah Williams after he went down in the first quarter of the season opener with a knee injury. Williams is on injured reserve.
If Beachum is unable to play, Barton likely will get the start and Heck will be the backup.
The Cardinals and Lions kick off Sunday at 1:25 p.m. Arizona time.
