The defensive personnel reinforcements the Cardinals have acquire recently—-namely OLB/DE Markus Golden, CB Prince Amukamara and CB De’Vante Bausby bring experience and talent to Vance Joseph’s defense—-but also bring positional question marks..
After OLB Devon Kennard and CB Byron Murphy tested positive for COVID-19 this week, Markus Golden has now been penciled in as the starting OLB opposite Haason Reddick and CB Prince Amukamara, now projected to be activated to the roster from the practice squad, figures to be in the nickel CB mix with Kevin Peterson and perhaps De’Vante Bausby.
While Markus Golden should get many snaps as a nickel edge rusher, the question is whether he can keep contain on his edge.
