The Arizona Cardinals lost on Thursday to the Oakland Raiders 33-26. While the results don’t matter as much collectively, it is important to note individual performances. Some players helped themselves.
Other hurt their case for either starting jobs or a spot on the final roster.
These are the players whose stock fell in the loss.
Rees Odhiambo
Odhiambo was demoted after his play las week. Instead of playing left tackle on the second-team offense, he played left guard on the third team. He struggled again.
Damiere Byrd
Byrd played with first and second-team offenses and had two catches for 13 yards. However, he dropped a key third-down pass while Pharoh Cooper played well. It would appear he and Cooper are fighting for the same roster spot.
Deatrick Nichols
Nichols got burned by Rico Gafford for a long touchdown pass. With Chris Jones playing well, this play alone looked bad for Nichols.
