Cardinals starting C Alex Stepanovich (hand) and starting ORT Oliver Ross (knee) will be held out of Saturday night's preseason game against the Cowboys. Free-agent addition OT Ian Allen, who has 11 career starts (all in 2003), will replace Ross, and 2004 sixth-round draft pick C Nick Leckey will start in their absence. HC Dennis Green said Ross' knee injury isn't serious. The team won't know the status of Stepanovich's hand until today. |
