The Cardinals are considering holding out ILB Kevin Minter (pectoral) for the rest of the preseason.
Inside linebacker is a spot where the Cardinals can’t afford any more issues. Karlos Dansby fled to the Browns as a free agent and Daryl Washington is suspended for the entire season. If rest doesn’t fix Minter’s pectoral, a last resort is going under the knife -- a procedure that often costs players 3-5 months. Raw special teamer Kenny Demens is behind Minter on the depth chart.
