Matt Leinart will start Saturday in Oakland, while Kurt Warner will enter the game perhaps in the final 2:00 of the first half. Then Warner will play a good deal in the second half.
Saturday marks the third game of the pre-season; that’s the one that most resembles a real game….
As far as injuries are concerned, Antrel Rolle, who has been out a week with a sore ankle has been diagnosed with a high sprain. He’ll likely be out another week, coach Ken Whisenhunt said Monday.
Tight end Ben Patrick also has a high ankle sprain so he’ll likely be out this week as well.
But other injured Cardinals are expected to return to the fold, including rookie receiver Early Doucet (hamstring), linebacker Monty Beisel (back) and defensive tackle Darnell Dockett (pectoral muscle).
Overall, the Cardinals are fairly healthy….
Elton Brown continues to push Deuce Lutui at right guard, Whisenhunt says….
Whisenhunt didn’t have to answer questions about penalties in his post-game analysis Monday. So that’s a sign of progress.
