Chris Jones has had a good preseason and a solid training camp, and his head coach has mentioned him multiple times when he brings up players doing well at cornerback. But when such things are brought up to the second-year Cardinal, Jones would rather downplay everything. “I’ve always been...

Even though his rehabilitation was a roller coaster, there was an extreme high early in the process when the Cardinals signed Shipley, an impending free agent, to a one-year extension. It caught many people by surprise, as teams generally wait to see how players rebound from serious injuries...

The strengths? On defense right now, I'm going to go with safety or corneback (once Patrick Peterson's suspension ends, because yeah, that's a big deal.) I really like the Swearinger-Baker tandem, and they might've found something with supplemental pick Jalen Thompson. Robert Alford has looked...

Patrick Peterson’s snaps with the first-team defense will soon be scaled back. The Cardinals’ Pro Bowl cornerback is suspended for the first six weeks of the regular season, and coach Kliff Kingsbury wants to build the chemistry of the defensive backs who will be on the field. Peterson and...

The Cardinals filled their remaining open spot on the 90-man roster Monday by claiming outside linebacker Jeff Holland, who had been cut by the Denver Broncos. Holland, an undrafted rookie in 2018, spent most of last season on Denver's practice squad before being promoted late in the year to...

Murray already showed off in the preseason opener, completing 6-of-7 passes (and actually completing that seventh, only to have it wiped away because rookie receiver KeeSean Johnson stepped out of bounds and then came back in the game before making the catch.) Murray is hoping to get more...

Charles Clay (knee) was activated from the physically unable to perform list on Sunday morning, and while he didn’t practice in the afternoon, he figures to be back soon. When that happens, Kingsbury will have his full complement of tight end options for the first time. Clay is a versatile...

The Cardinals took a long look at Korey Cunningham and Rees Odhiambo last week in the preseason opener against the Chargers. There is still more to see. Offensively, there may be no higher priority than to figure out who the team’s third tackle will be behind starters Marcus Gilbert and D.J...

KINGSBURY HAPPY WITH MURRAY’S DEBUT Kingsbury’s tape review backed up his initial impression of Kyler Murray’s debut performance. The rookie quarterback finished 6-of-7 for 44 yards in one series of work, with the lone incompletion coming because KeeSean Johnson stepped out of bounds before...

The depth of the Cardinals’ defensive line figures to be tested after news came out that starting end Darius Philon had been arrested. It will open the door quickly for third-round draft pick Zach Allen, who now has a chance to start. There were few details about the immediate future of...

When Hills and Sigler were in college, their football games weren’t televised. Thursday’s game was beamed into living rooms across the country on NFL Network. That was due to the Kyler Murray effect, and in truth, most casual fans were probably tuned out by the time Hills and Sigler had their...

Trent Sherfield had just hauled in a highlight-worthy 22-yard touchdown pass. And then? “I actually didn’t know what to do,” the Cardinals’ second-year wide receiver said. “So I just said, ‘Let’s go jump in the stands. Let’s try that on.’ ” For the relatively quiet Sherfield, it was out of...

Murray’s lone series began at the Arizona 2 following a fumble recovery by linebacker Jordan Hicks. It didn’t end in points, though that was no fault of his own. The Cardinals were called for a pair of penalties on the drive, including an illegal touch by wideout KeeSean Johnson, who went out...

In some ways, it’s been the camp of Keim first-round picks. Murray is the star, tackle D.J. Humphries the enigma, linebacker Haason Reddick the injured, and former defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche the released. Murray’s success is crucial, given that Humphries and Reddick haven’t played their...

The Michael Crabtree workout was the Cardinals doing what they can to search for players who could improve the roster, Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday. The veteran wide receiver hasn’t signed, but Kingsbury wouldn’t rule it out either. “Anything can happen,” Kingsbury said. “He’s a talented...

While Murray may be the master key, other aspects also point toward red zone success. Running back David Johnson can be a power back or a receiver on any particular play, while the speed of Christian Kirk and Andy Isabella coupled with the size of Larry Fitzgerald gives Murray options...

Any players that should get an extended look? Or will get an extended look? In the first preseason game, it'll be the guys deeper on the roster getting the longer looks. So I'm interested to see the receivers -- Hakeem Butler, Kevin White, Pharoh Cooper, Damiere Byrd, in particular -- that...

AT CORNERBACK, CHRIS JONES MAKING INROADS Last season, cornerback Chris Jones was simply a rookie trying to hang on to an NFL job, coming to the Cardinals after his initial undrafted turn in Detroit ended with a release. Jones’ time in Arizona was mostly on the practice squad, although he was...

Foster was the first to arrive with the Cardinals. He nearly signed as an undrafted free agent in 2016, but a recruitment phone call from New England coach Bill Belichick was too much to turn down. Foster made the Patriots’ roster as a rookie and won the Super Bowl. He was on their practice...
