The Cardinals will not be making any international trips this coming season, as the NFL announced their full slate of games with Arizona absent. Their lone chance was to compete against the Indianapolis Colts in Berlin, Germany.
Arizona hasn't seen many leaks on their schedule ahead of its release (Wednesday, May 14 at 5:00 PM local time here in the desert), though more games are expected to be unveiled ahead of the release date.
