The Arizona Cardinals have a fiercely contested position battle at inside linebacker, contrary to initial expectations centered on finding a successor for 'Mike' linebacker Kyzir White. With White not re-signed, Mack Wilson is poised to fill that role, while the competition intensifies for the 'Will' spot, previously held by Josh Woods. Candidates for this position include free agent Akeem Davis-Gaither, rookie Owen Pappoe, and fourth-round draft pick Cody Simon. Head Coach Jonathan Gannon expressed confidence in the competitive nature of the position, highlighting that all contenders are trending positively.
