Players To Watch: Arizona Cardinals
The Eagles return to Philadelphia to play the Cardinals in Week 5. Here are the players to keep an eye on heading into Sunday's game.
CB Patrick Peterson is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. He has earned Pro Bowl appearances in all six of his seasons. The three-time First-team All Pro has never missed a game and has 20 career interceptions.Â
WR Larry Fitzgerald is one of the NFL's most durable wide receivers and a potential Hall of Famer. The fourteenth-year veteran has played well against the Eagles in the past. In seven regular season contests, Fitzgerald has eight touchdowns.Â
QB Carson Palmer currently ranks second in the league with yards thrown per game this season (320.5). In his three career games against the Eagles, Palmer has thrown six touchdowns and two interceptions.
RB Chris Johnson leads the team in rushing yards through four games. His 9,630 career rushing yards ranks third among active players.
LB Chandler Jones is one of just three players to put together double-digit sack seasons from 2015-16. This season, Jones has notched four sacks in four games.Â
CB Justin Bethel nabbed an interception and returned it for an 82-yard touchdown in the Cardinals season opener against the Lions.
S Tyrann Mathieu earned First-team All-Pro honors back in 2015. This season, Mathieu has come away with both an interception and a sack.Â
WR JJ Nelson leads the team with 15.6 yards per catch and is tied with a team-high 2 touchdowns on the year.
RB Andre Ellington is both second in rushing and receiving yards for the Cardinals through four games.Â
