Another Panthers’ assistant expected to join Steve Wilks with Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals introduced ex-Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks as their head coach Tuesday.

On Wednesday one of Wilks’ former colleagues will be in Phoenix with an eye on joining him.

Panthers linebackers coach Al Holcomb will interview for the Cardinals’ defensive coordinator post under Wilks, according to a league source with knowledge of the meeting.

Holcomb, who’s considered the front runner for the job, would replace James Bettcher, who interviewed for the head-coaching vacancy before Wilks was hired.
