Roughly 35 Arizona Cardinals won't play in Hall of Fame Game?

[ASFN Admin]

The Arizona Cardinals will play the Carolina Panthers on Thursday in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. It is the official beginning of the preseason, as it is an extra exhibition.

As such, it is treated like an extra game, and starters generally don't play.

Cardinals head coach said on Wednesday that roughly 35 players on offense and defense would not play in the game.

Who are the guys who won't suit up? Expect starters and key rotational players to be out.

These are the players I project won't go on Thursday
