Before training camp got underway, I posted 10 of the top questions facing the Cardinals -- Part I and Part II -- as they began their season. Now that the games that count are here, were those questions answered? Let's take a brief look:

-- Can Carson Palmer do it again? Clearly this isn't something that could be answered yet. The preseason had some rough moments. But Palmer is unflinching and so is his coach and his teammates. The confidence is there that the quarterback will be just fine.

-- Who is the starting center? It's A.Q. Shipley, and it was never really even close. Rookie Evan Boehm is getting better, but he doesn't look like he's close to usurping Shipley. And the Cardinals never looked on the street for another option. It's possible that could change, but Shipley is entrenched for now.

-- Will D.J. Humphries become the right tackle? Yep. Again, never really was a question once it was all said and done. There was no real competition, and to Humphries' credit, he improved as camp went on. In my opinion, while he won't be perfect, Humphries should be fine.

-- How much will David Johnson carry the offense? Again, we'll only know once the games start, but it's hard to think he won't be the anchor to how this all goes down. Looked good in camp and the preseason.

-- How important was it to keep every single skill player? This matters when there was worry about the offense. The idea is that they know each other well. So hopefully, even though Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown played little in the preseason, they know what to do. And the other skill vets like Jaron Brown showed why it's good to have their knowledge too.

-- Who will be the cornerback opposite Patrick Peterson? Brandon Williams, almost by default, because of the injuries to Justin Bethel and Mike Jenkins. The rookie will get tested early and often. He had a strong start to camp and then slowed a bit, and his work is going to be under the microscope.

-- What will be the impact of Chandler Jones? More TBD, but you have to love how he looked during camp.

-- How is the health of the Honey Badger? Healthy enough that he'll start and is expected to be full go against the Patriots. We'll see how Tyrann Mathieu looks compared to all-pro-pre-ACL-tear Badger of 2015.

-- Can Robert Nkemdiche play a big role right away? Maybe not a big role, not after missing a chunk of camp with an ankle sprain. But he'll definitely play a role.

-- What is Larry Fitzgerald's future? You never know what he'll do after the season, but at least the Cardinals made sure, if he plays in 2017, it'll be in Arizona.
