John Wetzel needs to play big for the Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals were dealt a serious blow with the news of Jared Veldheer going down for the season with a torn triceps.

That means they are going to have lost two veteran starters along their offensive line in only eight games in 2016, with Evan Mathis having been put on IR just four weeks ago.

What was expected to be a strength, the offensive line continues to be a work in progress for the Arizona Cardinals. Now, with maybe their two best blockers done for the year, Mike Iupati has been less than his normal near All-Pro self this year due to his own injury issues, it is up to little known John Wetzel to step in and fill Veldheer’s mammoth void.
