Cardinals' Matt Barkley: Slated to play most of Thursday's game

Barkley is slated to play the majority of Thursday's preseason contest against the Broncos, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Barkley has had his moments this preseason, completing exactly two-thirds of his passes the last two exhibitions and tossing two touchdowns in Sunday's preseason defeat in Houston. His flaws have also shined through in the form of three interceptions, three sacks taken, and one fumble lost. As a result, his quarterback rating rings in at an undesirable 62.6, which places him on the roster bubble. More than likely, the practice squad will be his imminent home with such a competitive atmosphere in Arizona.
