The deficiencies of Arizona’s safeties have already been highlighted, and when it comes to defending the pass, the team’s inside linebackers are every bit as dismal as their back-end counterparts.
Relative to PFF, 13-year vet Larry Foote grades out dead last in coverage among his league-wide cohorts, allowing pass-catchers to snatch 42 of 49 targets (85.7 percent) for 403 yards.
And even if he plays today, Foote, per Weinfuss, won’t be at 100 percent.

If Travis Kelce makes any more gestures, they’ll likely be from the end zone.
