Cardinals Offensive Line Outlook: Could extensions be in the works for D.J. Humphries and Justin Pugh?

Second half of the season slumps continued to haunt the Cardinals for a second-straight year in the midst of the best start of the Kliff Kingsbury-Kyler Murray era last season.

The Arizona Cardinals were arguably the best team in the NFL through the first seven weeks of 2021 regular season before Kyler Murray went down with an ankle injury and did not look the same upon his return.

One of the biggest reasons for his struggles was the declining protection from his offensive line.

Left tackle D.J. Humphries went through a brutal four-game stretch to end the regular season, allowing three sacks and 23 total pressures during that time.
