Same here and they stink. On the other hand, they did have Mendoza’s kid brother on for a spell—he was fantastic.
When Mendoza scrambled, the kid (who appeared to be 12-13 years old) said something to the effect of “He’s gotta get rid of that ball,” then added “Mom’s not gonna like him getting hit like that.” It was priceless.

QB Carson Beck ribs “no concern level”
OLB Baron Browning “day-to-day”
TE Jameson Geers thumb

Loser: Nick Rallis' Starting Defense

It's awfully hard to call a coach a loser in preseason, though fans are well aware of how short of a leash Rallis has entering 2026.

Thus far, the results haven't been there for Rallis. For the first time, the Cardinals rolled their starting unit out on the field. The end product? Two touchdowns in Vegas' first three drives.

Many of the same problems Arizona saw last week — missed tackles, blown assignments — were prevalent against the Raiders. You won't find many defensive standouts on this list as winners.

Preseason is just tough to evaluate, especially for starters who know they've won the job and the ones trying to win the job, risk injury.

I know some want full effort all the time, but if you're a veteran and know you're going to play, you could easily down shift 3 gears and save it for live play when the stats count. I'm not saying it's perfect but they won't make he same mistakes when it's live because that tape is what gets them their new contracts.
