Don’t look now Arizona Cardinals’ fans, but opening-day is just two short months away. A brand new coaching staff, a totally different quarterback room and a new-look defense are providing plenty of intrigue. But while it’s an exciting time for the team’s observers, a pair of rehabbing players are racing to get healthy.
Defensive end Markus Golden, who just two years ago led the squad in sacks (12.5 In 2016), is one of the two. A torn ACL suffered last October ended the former second-round draft pick’s 2017 campaign. A free agent pickup named Benson Mayowa is waiting in the wings, ready to step in if Golden’s recovery fails to go as planned.
