Cardinals training camp roster preview: OL Kelvin Beachum

When he was re-signed, it appeared he would be the team’s starting right tackle again. However, the selection of tackle Paris Johnson in the first round appears to have changed those plans.

Beachum’s offseason comments about quarterback Kyler Murray were not well received by some.

However, because of his contract, it appears he is a lock for the roster, as his salary is fully guaranteed. Even if he is not the starting right tackle, he still can be a valuable lineman on the team because he can play and start capably at either tackle position.

At this point, it would be a surprise if he starts even though he will be allowed to compete for the job, but it should not be a surprise if he makes the team.
