Robert Nkemdiche – DT – Arizona Cardinals

Rob recently injured his ankle in camp and is currently in a boot. He is looking at a few weeks to recover from the high ankle sprain, but he should be back in time for the preseason.

Robert should earn some time on the defensive line for the Cardinals. He makes his debut on August 12th against the Oakland Raiders.

Robert is finding a way to help out the Cardinals even though he is injured. He even helped clean up the practice field after someone spilled some ice.

Arizona head coach Bruce Arians said the other day that Nkemdiche could see some time at fullback, a position Ole Miss fans are all-to-familiar with.
