Projecting the Arizona Cardinals' final 53-man roster ahead of Saturday's deadline

Now that the Cardinals can put the preseason in the rearview mirror, they’re ready to step on the gas and motor their way through their next order of business – cut-down day.

Following Thursday night’s preseason finale against the Broncos at University of Phoenix Stadium, the team has until 1 p.m. on Saturday to trim its roster from 90 players down to 53. The Cardinals already had a pretty good idea about the majority of those cuts before they took the field.

So do those who cover the Cardinals, including azcentral sports. That’s why instead of breaking down what happened in the most meaningless game on the preseason schedule, we offer our projection as to how the final 53-man roster might shake out before Saturday’s deadline.
