Cardinals preseason opener: What to watch vs. Chiefs

5 for focus

Points to watch Saturday night when Cardinals play the Chiefs in the first preseason game.

1. How does Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer leave the field after the first series?

Palmer’s health is paramount to the Cardinals’ success this season, so health, not his performance, is the most important thing about Saturday night's appearance. Palmer won’t play more than a series, so it doesn’t matter much, if he looks sharp, dull and somewhere between. Just as long as he’s able to walk off the field.

Kent Somers and Bob McManaman list what they’ll be looking for Saturday during the Cardinals’ first preseason game versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
