The Arizona Cardinals are closing in on training camp, with players set to report on July 22 as the team begins its build toward the regular season. One part of that camp countdown is a player-by-player look at the roster, and this preview centers on outside linebacker Jordan Burch.
Training camp will be a key stretch for every player competing for a place on the roster, and it will also shape the depth chart heading into the season. For Burch, the focus will be on where he fits within the Cardinals' plans at outside linebacker as coaches evaluate performance, assign responsibilities and sort out starting opportunities.
The camp period is about more than just making the team. It is when roles become clearer, position battles take shape and players try to establish themselves as reliable options for the regular season. That makes Burch one of the names to watch as Arizona works through its defensive decisions in the weeks ahead.
With the Cardinals entering a critical phase of roster evaluation, Burch's training camp work will help determine how he factors into the team's defensive rotation. As Arizona moves from offseason preparation into full competition, his progress will be part of the broader effort to finalize the roster and define roles before Week 1.
