The Arizona Cardinals face a significant challenge following the season-ending knee injury of starting right guard Will Hernandez during their recent victory against the San Francisco 49ers.

Hernandez was a key player in the offensive line, boasting impressive pass-blocking grades. His absence raises questions about who will step in to fill his role as the team looks to maintain its offensive momentum.

Several internal candidates, including Trystan Colon, Isaiah Adams, and Jon Gaines II, are being considered for the position, each bringing varying levels of experience and potential.

While the Cardinals may explore external options like Dalton Risner or Isaiah Wynn, their history suggests a preference for developing talent from within rather than making significant trades or acquisitions.
