Arizona Cardinals rank last in The Athletic's preseason NFL rankings

The Arizona Cardinals find themselves in the 30th position in The Athletic's 2026 NFL preseason rankings, compiled by Josh Kendall. As training camps open across the league, the Cardinals are labeled as a team in turmoil, with quarterback uncertainty and defensive issues. Kendall notes that the franchise has struggled to find stability, citing the team's limited success and a lack of notable players on ESPN's Top-10 lists at their respective positions. The team is under new head coach Mike LaFleur and is undergoing a rebuild. Competitive teams in the NFC West, such as the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, and San Francisco 49ers, stand significantly ahead in the rankings.
