Simmons' mental acuity has been long lauded, starting from the man himself. After playing multiple positions in college, Simmons was tested with a heavy intake from the playbook. "I've kind of been prepped and prepared for this level and how much of a mental strain it'll be," Simmons said...

The Cardinals won't have fans at State Farm Stadium for their first two home games of the season, the team told season ticket members in an email on Friday. State guidelines currently restrict large gatherings in order to curb the spread of COVID-19, which will close to the public the Sept. 20...

Kingsbury said the undrafted free agents have been at a disadvantage this year because offseason work was canceled and training camp was shortened. "What's tough is, you're just now getting to know them," Kingsbury said. "You didn't get to learn their work habits and how they retain...

On Wednesday night, many in the sports world made a stand, starting when the players of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks decided to not play their playoff game – a move that was eventually embraced by the other five teams scheduled to play, leading to postponement of all NBA games. All WNBA teams did...

"It's very organic," Hopkins said. "Even working in the weight room together, walking down the hallway, eating lunch. To me that's building chemistry, not just being out there throwing the football back and forth. Me and him have been doing that since we were young. That's going to come."...

Kyler Murray has the arm talent of a pocket passer, but Kliff Kingsbury doesn't want to forget about his legs. After sporadic rushing attempts as a rookie, the dual-threat quarterback could be called upon more regularly on the ground in his second season. Murray had 93 carries for 544 yards...

The Cardinals took three receivers in last year's draft, and the final one – sixth-rounder KeeSean Johnson -- finished with the most catches and targets by a considerable margin. In aggregate, that is something to build on, but the arrow trended in the wrong direction as his rookie year went...

Budda Baker is coming off a Pro Bowl season, he's developed into a leader of the defense, and now he has his future settled with the Arizona Cardinals. The 2017 second-round pick, who had been scheduled to become a free agent after the season, agreed to a four-year contract extension Tuesday...

The Cardinals will hold the team's "Red & White Practice Powered by COX" on Friday, Aug. 28 at State Farm Stadium from 9:30 a.m. to noon. While the practice is closed to the public, fans will still be able to see it as the Cardinals and 12 News KPNX-TV (NBC) will air a two-hour TV special the...

"Hi, Darren. In this unique camp setting do the players feel more or less comfortable with remaining on the roster? A cut can come at any time and Steve Keim would need to decide on replacing the player. Do you think coaches are going to start focusing on the players in camp to advise on who is...

Kenyan Drake missed practice on Monday due to injury, but coach Kliff Kingsbury downplayed its severity, calling the absence "precautionary." The fifth-year running back, who had on a walking boot, is projected to be a major piece of the Cardinals' offense this season after a stellar...

Arnold had a pair of touchdown catches in his three contests with the Cardinals last season, and had four receptions for 76 yards and a score in the season finale against the Rams. Even though that game was meaningless in a team sense, Kingsbury said the uptick in playing time would have...

The Cardinals may have found the veteran they sought to replace the injured Robert Alford in the lineup as the No. 2 cornerback – and allow Byron Murphy to remain as the nickel cornerback where he is most comfortable. The team signed Dre Kirkpatrick Sunday to a one-year contract, the third...

The Cardinals have been diligent about following protocols throughout training camp and remain one of the few teams yet to place a player on the COVID-19 reserve list. However, another issue arose on Sunday, when 10 teams – which didn't include the Cardinals – received positive coronavirus...

Chris Streveler sees himself as a quarterback first, and so do the Cardinals. But the Cards may or may not want or need to carry three quarterbacks – Kyler Murray and Brett Hundley are entrenched as the top two – so the CFL transplant is seeking other ways to stick. Much has been of a Taysom...

Peterson was given a Pro Football Focus grade of 68.6 last season, his lowest since a 2014 campaign in which an early-season Diabetes diagnosis sapped his natural ability. He bounced back fabulously from that, making the All-Pro team in 2015. That was in the prime of his career, and it was...

Losing Robert Alford all but guaranteed the Cardinals were going to need to seek some veteran help at cornerback, so Friday, they started that process. The team signed former Bengal B.W. Webb to a one-year deal. The Cards still had an open roster spot after tackle Marcus Gilbert opted out for...

Eno Benjamin is not an uptight person, and right now, that could be a big benefit. The rookie running back has only been practicing with the Cardinals for a couple weeks, but in this abbreviated training camp, cutdown day isn't far away. The seventh-round pick out of Arizona State is...

The Cardinals had an elite edge-rushing presence last season in Chandler Jones, who finished second in NFL Defensive Player of the Year voting after totaling 19 sacks. The interior, though, lacked consistent push, which is why Phillips was so coveted. "When you've got a great edge rusher and...

Inside linebacker was going to be a point of emphasis for the Cardinals heading into this offseason, and it showed. Jordan Hicks was an excellent free-agent signing in 2019, but he needed help. So the Cards then signed veteran De'Vondre Campbell to make sure they at least solidified the...
