Arizona Cardinals' biggest question mark is at WR, says Pro Football Network
As we wait for the start of training camp in late July, we have time to contemplate all the questions we have about the teams we cheer for. What is the biggest question mark for the Arizona Cardinals?
There are many, but Pro Football Network put together the biggest question mark for every NFL team, and they picked one that many would agree with for the Cardinals.
Arizona Cardinals' biggest question mark entering 2025
PFN says it is the Cardinals' wide receiver group.
Marvin Harrison Jr. didn't have a bad rookie season, but after falling short of 1,000 receiving yards, he didn't live up to expectations in his first season with the Arizona Cardinals.
Aside from Harrison, Arizona's receiving corps could use some improvement. Michael Wilson is a solid complementary piece, but they don't have a star. With him, Zay Jones, and Greg Dortch competing for touches, one of them will need to take the next step.
This is fair. They truly have two position groups that are questionable — receiver and inside linebacker.
Now, the question goes deeper than just the position. There are some questions that we might be able to answer by the end of the season.
While Harrison wasn't great, he did have good games. But his usage was questionable. There was zero effort to try and get him the ball quickly and let him make things happen.
Wilson and Dortch have not yet cracked 600 yards in a season. Jones had eight whole catches.
It is certainly the least sure position the Cardinals have on offense.

2025 Arizona Cardinals Preseason Schedule: Dates, Times, TV Channels
National Football League 2025 Arizona Cardinals Preseason Schedule: Dates, Times, TV Channels Published Aug. 4, 2025 10:14 a.m. ET share facebook x reddit link The Arizona Cardinals enter the 2025 NFL preseason looking to build on last season's progress after posting an 8-9 record in 2024, yet falling short of a playoff berth. As Arizona aims to take the next step in 2025, here's a complete look at the Cardinals' 2025 preseason schedule, including dates, times and TV channels. Arizona Cardinals 2025 Preseason Schedule Kyler Murray hits Marvin Harrison Jr. on a 12-yard td pass, extending Cardinals' lead over 49ers | NFL Highlights How will the Cardinals do this season? Eric D. Williams predicts that the Cardinals will finish the year at 7-10. Here's Williams: "Arizona's defense should improve after adding edge rusher Josh Sweat , along with defensive tackles Dalvin Tomlinson and Calias Campbell in free agency. The Cardinals also selected six defensive players in the draft, led by first-round defensive tackle Walter Nolen and Michigan cornerback Will Johnson in the second round. Tight end Trey McBride deservedly got a lucrative new deal this offseason and is a star in the making. However, offensive coordinator Drew Petzing still needs to figure out how to get the most out of quarterback Kyler Murray and second-year pro Marvin Harrison Jr. With James Conner turning 30 this year, there are concerns about how well the physical running back will hold up." share

NFL Top 100: 49ers DE Nick Bosa is No. 57, faces Arizona Cardinals twice in 2025
The 49ers' Nick Bosa is No. 57. He has four career sacks in 11 games against the Cardinals. Top 100 Players of 2025:@49ers DE Nick Bosa is ranked No. 57! @NFLFilms Last week, the NFL had its fifth week of revealing players in the "NFL Top 100," giving us players 51-60. On Tuesday, they revealed a player at No. 57 who will face the Arizona Cardinals twice in 2024. San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa comes in at No. 57. He was No. 27 last year. Bosa made his fifth Pro Bowl last season, but he had less production than he had in his previous three. After three seasons in a row of double-digit sacks, including winning Defensive Player of the Year in 2022 when he led the league with 18.5 sacks, he had "just" nine in 2024. "I know he might not have all the stats that he wants and can get, him stepping on a football field completely changes the demeanor of everyone around him, including the guys he's going against," said his teammate, tight end George Kittle. He played through multiple injuries last season. He had 14 pressures in a single game against the Seattle Seahawks. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy said that Bosa "is a guy that every offense fears." He hasn't hurt the Cardinals too much. In 11 games against them, he has four career sacks and only one in his last two seasons. The Cardinals will face him twice in 2025, once in Week 3 in Santa Clara and then at home in Week 11.

NFL Top 100: Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon is No. 58, will face Arizona Cardinals in 2025
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon is No. 58 in the 'NFL Top 100.' The Cardinals face the Texans in Week 15. Last week, the NFL had its fifth week of revealing players in the "NFL Top 100," giving us players 51-60. On Tuesday, they revealed a player at No. 58 who will face the Arizona Cardinals in 2024. Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon comes in at No. 58 after missing the top 100 last summer. Mixon, in his first season with the Texans in 2024, had his fifth career 1,000-yard season, gaining 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns in 14 games, averaging 4.1 yards per attempt. He made the Pro Bowl for the second time in his career. Defensive lineman Deatrich Wise, now on the Washington Commanders, called Mixon "one of the most underrated running backs in the game." "He's one of the bigger backs, but you can tell he's still elusive." Wide receiver Nico Collins, his teammate in Houston, said, "Every time he touches the ball, he's on a mission. He doesn't care who's in front of him, he's going to run you over, and he's going to tell you about it." Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin said Mixon was probably the best back he faced in 2024. The Cardinals will face Mixon and the Texans on the road in Week 15. The Cardinals' remade defensive front will be tested against him.
