What is the status of the Cardinals’ offensive line?

Through their opening three fixtures in the NFL's toughest division, the Arizona Cardinals sit at a 1-2 record following two defeats against divisional opponents. Under the guidance of head coach Mike LaFleur, who brought an offensive scheme inspired by the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, the front office worked during the offseason to completely revamp the blocking unit.

General manager Monti Ossenfort parted ways with previous starters, choosing not to bring back guards Evan Brown and Will Hernandez, while tackles Kelvin Beachum and Jonah Williams departed for new opportunities. Pro Football Focus currently ranks this newly shaped group twentieth overall after two weeks of action.

Individual performances across the line show a mix of strengths and weaknesses early in the season. Major free agent addition Isaac Seumalo has taken every snap at left guard, earning a grade driven by solid pass protection despite struggles as a run blocker.

Right tackle Elijah Wilkinson, signed from the Atlanta Falcons, has also played every snap and displays similarly strong pass-blocking metrics alongside lagging run-blocking grades. Meanwhile, center Hjalte Froholdt remains a steady constant for the squad, having maintained a continuous snap streak since joining the franchise in 2023.
