Second-year wide receiver Troy Franklin hauled in both touchdown passes.

After seeing Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix in practice, Arizona All-Pro Calaias Campbell says the second-year QB "has what it takes."

The Cardinals' preseason broadcast team will have Dave Pasch and Sam Acho calling the game from the booth with Dani Sureck on the sideline. However, if you watch the NFL Network broadcast, because the Broncos are at home, the home TV broadcast will air with Steve Levy and Ryan Harris on the call.
