BAGSHOT, Surrey, England — As division rivals, the Rams and Cardinals know each other’s personnel pretty well. Quarterback Carson Palmer has been with Arizona since head coach Bruce Arians arrived in 2013. Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has seemingly played forever, now in his 14th pro season.

With star running back David Johnson on injured reserve, the Cardinals sent a conditional sixth-round pick to the Saints on Oct. 10 to acquire Peterson.
