The Arizona Cardinals face the Kansas City Chiefs in their second preseason tilt Saturday night at home.

They won their preseason opener, an 18-17 last-second victory over the Denver Broncos.

Preseason games are more about individual play than overall outcome, so here are a few players to focus on when the Cardinals play this evening.

C Hjalte Froholdt

Froholdt looked good in limited snaps as the starting center. Can he continue to do so?

RB Keaontay Ingram

Ingram didn’t play last week but Stevie Scott was released without appearing a game, suggesting Ingram could return. Corey Clement got the start last week. Ingram hasn’t shown much this offseason because of the injury.

CB Kei'Trel Clark

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

Clark made a few plays and has been impressive in training camp. Let’s see if he can do it against the Chiefs’ starters and continue to push for the starting job.

S Jalen Thompson

Arizona Cardinals safety Jalen Thompson (34) poses for a photo during a photoshoot for the 2023 Arizona Cardinals Uniforms on Thursday, April 13, 2023.

Thompson is now the primary slot defender and could line up opposite Travis Kelce, where Isaiah Simmons lined up last year and was toasted.

Collins looked good on the edge in his seven defensive snaps last week. Let’s see if he can follow that up with another strong performance.

Jones played right tackle on the second-team offense and could have had a better game.

Perhaps he will get the start at left tackle like Kelvin Beachum did last week.
