The Arizona Cardinals will open Week 1 against the Washington Commanders in Week 1 with a total of 14 games set to kick off on Sunday.
The Cardinals have not had much luck in the injury department and don't appear to be in contention for a winning season this year.
Star wideout DeAndre Hopkins left Arizona, signing for the Tennessee Titans instead, while questions were also raised around Zach Ertz's availability early on. However, the biggest question mark when it comes to the Cardinals is easily Kyler Murray.
