GLENDALE — The Arizona Cardinals took the field at State Farm Stadium on Friday for their eighth day of training camp, one day before their Red-White scrimmage.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Kyler Murray continued to dominate, as his receivers had plenty of highlight-reel grabs. The defense played really well against the second and third team offenses, generating a few picks and near interceptions throughout the day.
See the full footage of the team’s 1-on-1s, 7-on-7s and 11-on-11s from Friday’s camp above.
General Notes
Greg Dortch had two of the best plays of the day (see in highlights below), while Murray stayed locked in, connecting with receivers all over the place and looking poised in the pocket.
Mack Wilson had a pick-six against Desmond Ridder in 11-on-11s and Verone McKinley intercepted Clayton Tune to end practice. Max Melton, Tyreek Maddox-Williams and Joey Blount all also had near interceptions, Melton on Tune, and Maddox-Williams and Blount on Ridder.
Cardinals 27th overall pick Darius Robinson continued to excel on the defensive line, blowing up Emari Demarcado as soon as he took the handoff on one play and generating pressure in the pass rush all practice long.
Dortch, Xavier Weaver and Michael Wilson were the team’s punt returners today.
Injury Notes
- Starting center Hjalte Froholdt missed his third-straight practice today with an injury. Jon Gaines II and Evan Brown took a lot of first-team reps at center.
- Budda Baker returned after missing Thursday’s practice for an undisclosed reason.
- Second-year outside linebacker BJ Ojulari suffered a knee injury and was down for a while and had to be helped off the field.
- Cornerback Elijah Jones walked off the field toward the end of practice with a trainer.
