The Arizona Cardinals close out their preseason schedule Saturday evening with a game starting at 4 p.m. Arizona time against the Tennessee Titans. It is the final opportunity that players have to make an impression on the coaches and decision-makers for the final roster.
While almost no starter will play in the preseason finale, there are still a number of players to watch for their play in the game.
Who are the players to watch in Nashville?

OL Cody Ford
Ford, acquired early this week in the wake of injuries on the offensive line, is expected to start and get playing time. As he might have to start in the regular season, it would be great to see him move well and play well.
Andy Isabella
Isabella has had a strong preseason. It might not be enough to make the roster but maybe another strong game could set him up for a trade.
The cornerbacks
At this point, the Cardinals need any cornerbacks to make an impact and show up.
RB Jonathan Ward
Ward got injured last week. If he plays, it will be important to see what he can do. He is on the roster bubble
TE Trey McBride
McBride got his first game action last week. It would be good to see him catch a pass or two.
The young pass rushers
Victor Dimukeje has had a great preseason. Rookies Cameron Thomas and Myjai Sanders have both flashed. We would like to see all three disrupting the Titans’ offense.
