The Cardinals' defensive line has been plagued by injuries this preseason, with Bruce Gaston and Dan Williams missing time and Alameda Ta'amu on the PUP list as he continues to rehab an ACL injury.

This offseason, the Cardinals lost linebacker Karlos Dansby in free agency and linebacker Daryl Washington was suspended for the season after violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

The Cardinals, who went 10-6 and missed the playoffs 2013, open the season Sept. 8 against San Diego.
