Markus Golden ahead of schedule in development

Rookie outside linebacker Markus Golden has gotten significant playing time over the last couple of weeks because of the calf injury to Alex Okafor. He is also getting the praise of his head coach. Bruce Arians told the media Golden is ahead of schedule in terms of his development this year.

Against the Ravens, he was credited with seven quarterback pressures by Pro Football Focus. He was disruptive. As always, you can see the effort on the field.

"He's exactly what we drafted - a junkyard dog," Arians told the media.
