The Arizona Cardinals have dealt with so many injuries this season. It has especially affected the offense.
The Cardinals have used 77 different players this season, the most in the NFL.
But one mainstay in the lineup has been right tackle Kelvin Beachum.
Beachum is the only offensive player on the roster to have started every game this season.
Four of their five starting offensive linemen are on injured reserve. Ten of the 13 players the Cardinals have on IR are offensive players.
They have used eight different starting offensive line combinations and five in their last six games. They will start a different one against the Patriots, with Rashaad Coward out with a chest injury. Tonight’s starting offensive line will be Josh Jones at left tackle, Cody Ford at left guard, Billy Price at center, Max Garcia at right guard and Beachum at right tackle.
Of course, merely mentioning this fact perhaps will lead to a classic jinx and Beachum gets hurt against the Patriots or this week in practice.
