The Cardinals own the NFL's second-oldest 53-man roster on average behind the Saints heading into Week 11.
They have the fourth-oldest starting defense on average. Their starting offense is the 11th-oldest with quarterbacks and 19th-oldest without considering quarterbacks.
What does it mean? This is a veteran team with emerging young talent such as Beanie Wells and Calais Campbell, but the roster could use fresh blood primarily at outside linebacker, where Cody Brown's season-ending injury has left the team a bit vulnerable from a depth standpoint. Overall, the Cardinals have the fourth-oldest backups in the league.
Arizona's offensive line, scheduled to make its 30th consecutive start together Sunday, ranks 19th in average age.
