With the injuries to Budda Baker (thumb), Chris Banjo (hamstring), and Jalen Thompson (ankle), the Cardinals are now left searching for replacement options at the safety position.
Second-year safety Deionte Thompson is expected to make the start in the upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Carolina Panthers in place of Baker, who will have thumb surgery this week and will miss at least a game.
Thompson fills one spot but there is also another opening. Although many people are suggesting Isaiah Simmons should start at safety this weekend, are the Cardinals willing to halt his development at linebacker to play him at another position?
