The Arizona Cardinals will be getting the starting offensive line back for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks.

The normal starters of D.J Humphries at left tackle, Justin Pugh at left guard, Rodney Hudson at center, Max Garcia at right guard and Kelvin Beachum at right tackle have not all been together since Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams, but have a 4-1 record as a unit this season.

Although the unit has been mostly in tact, when Hudson went down Garcia went to center forcing switches at multiple positions on the line.

“Being able to get back and work together and communicating, in the meeting rooms. I think its big,” Hudson said. “The more time we have together the better. It is good to be back together.”

One thing that has been plaguing the Arizona offense as of late has been scoring touchdowns in the red zone.

The team ranks 12th in the league in red zone scoring percentage at 61.29%, but only 30% over their last three contests.

“It is one play here, one play there,” Hudson said.

“You have to take advantage because you never know what play, what yard, what two yards is going to hurt you. We have to take advantage of the opportunities we’re given and focus in on those situations.”

Catch all the action at 2:25 p.m. on 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station.
