Cardinals secure 27-14 win over Raiders with notable absences

The Arizona Cardinals defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 27-14 in a preseason game on August 14, 2026. While head coach Mike LaFleur indicated all players would participate, several key players did not take the field. Tight end Trey McBride played only one snap, and multiple others, including QB Carson Beck and RB James Conner, did not appear due to injury concerns or recovery status. Some players were held out, raising questions about their future roles on the team. The Cardinals now prepare for their next preseason matchup as they assess their roster ahead of the regular season.
