The Arizona Cardinals, projected to struggle in the 2026 season, have been ranked 26th in new NFL preseason power rankings. While they are still expected to have the lowest win total in the league, this ranking places them ahead of six other teams. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett leads a roster with notable talents, including Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. Despite optimism surrounding the offense, concerns remain regarding the defense's inability to stop opposing teams, as seen in last year's struggles.
