Cardinals Preseason Highlights and Concerns | Arizona Cardinals News

Arizona Cardinals’ preseason opener ended in a loss to the Panthers, but there were plenty of bright spots to hype. Head coach Mike LaFleur made his debut and gave fans their first real glimpse into his offensive vision — and it looked promising. QB Carson Beck stood out with smart decision-making and accurate throws, even when plays broke down. Running back Bam Knight emerged as a serious contender for a roster spot, delivering big yards and making defenders miss. The wide receiver corps is deep and loaded with talent, with backups stepping up big time. But the defense showed concerning vulnerabilities, struggling to contain Carolina’s offense and giving up too many big plays — a warning sign that could be critical as the season approaches.
